PROF. PARTINGTON'S book is remarkable in that, instead of dealing generally with the properties of gases, it selects for fuller treatment the single property of specific heat. In the case of steam, ...

IN two recent papers 1 a new method has been described for measuring the specific heats of gases. The essential part of the particular form of apparatus described is a calorimeter containing an iron ...

The distances between particles are smallest in the solid, they are larger in the liquid and larger again in the gas. The particles in gases and liquids move more freely than in solids, so their ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

To develop a generalized correlation for natural gas heat capacity, the author conducted an extensive investigation of heat capacity as a function of temperature, pressure, and composition. To develop ...
