Seite 361 - ... is the ratio of the specific heat at constant pressure to the specific heat at constant volume, is a constant.
Seite 553 - In order that this principle may be fulfilled, the line of resistance should not deviate from the middle of the thickness of the wall to an extent materially exceeding one.sixth of the thickness. In other words, the lines of resistance, when the reservoir is empty and full respectively, should both be within, or but a small distance beyond, the middle third of the thickness of the wall.
Seite 17 - The hypothesis of molecular vortices is defined to be that which assumes, that each atom of matter consists of a nucleus or central point, enveloped by an elastic atmosphere, which is retained in its position by attractive forces, and that the elasticity due to heat arises from the centrifugal force of those atmospheres, revolving or oscillating about their nuclei or central points.
