Page 214 - calorie," as it was called by the French philosophers who first adopted the metric system, is that quantity of heat which is required to raise the temperature of one kilogramme of water one degree centigrade, — the
Page 500 - On account of the difficulty of securing accuracy in these tests the greatest care should be taken in the measurements of weights and temperatures. The thermometers should be accurate to within a tenth of a degree, and the scales on which the water is weighed to within one hundredth of a pound. ANALYSES OF GASES. — MEASUREMENT OF AIR-SUPPLY, ETC. XV. In tests for purposes of scientific research, in which the determination of all the variables entering into the test is desired, certain observations...
Page 544 - The energy of gunpowder is somewhat variable, but it has been seen that a cubic foot of heated water, under a pressure of 60 or 70 pounds per square inch, has about the same energy as one pound of gunpowder. The gunpowder exploded has energy sufficient to raise its own weight to a height of nearly 50 miles ; while the water has enough to raise that weight about one-sixtieth that height.
Page 496 - II. Measure and record the dimensions, position, etc., of grate and heating surfaces, flues and chimneys, proportion of air-space in the grate-surface, kind of draught, natural or forced. III. Put the Boiler in good condition.
Page 231 - Heat is a very brisk agitation of the insensible parts of the object, which produces in us that sensation from whence we denominate the object hot ; so what in our sensation is heat, in the object is nothing but motion.
Page 241 - That the quantity of heat produced by the friction of bodies, whether solid or liquid, is always proportional to the quantity of force expended.
Page 496 - Establish the correctness of all apparatus used in the test for weighing and measuring. These are: 1. Scales for weighing coal, ashes, and water. 2. Tanks, or water-meters for measuring water.
Page 68 - With such brittle materials as the cast-irons, the difference becomes unimportant. Beardslee found a difference of but i per cent in certain cases. The more brittle the material the less this variation of the observed tenacity. As will be seen later, even more important variations follow changes of proportion of pieces in compression. No test-piece should be of very small diameter, as inaccuracy is more probable with a small than with a large piece, and the errors are more likely to be increased...
Page 233 - In our demonstrations we tacitly assume that after a body has experienced a certain number of transformations, if it be brought identically to its primitive physical state as to density, temperature, and molecular constitution, it must contain the same quantity of heat as that which it initially possessed...
