About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 Excerpt: ...of the steam and the evaporation of the water. When a certain proportion exists between steam and water, the evaporation of the water exactly compensates for the condensation of the steam: a proportion which is given by the equation x = i, h h where Tl T2 are the initial and final temperatures between which the change is supposed to take place. For a small change at temperature T, the above formula is very approximately equivalent to T x =. 1440 At 38 lbs. on the square inch, this gives-5 as the value of x, which at high pressures will be at most-6, and at low pressures at least-45: if a greater change of temperature be considered, the variation in x will be less, and we may say generally that when a mixture of steam and water in equal proportions by weight expands without gain or loss of heat, the evaporation and condensation approximately balance one another, so that the total change is very small: and further, if water predominates, evaporation takes place, but if steam predominates, condensation. Similar conclusions may be drawn in the case where a mixturo of steam and water expands in contact with a metallic plate: the state of things is the same as if the water received the whole amount of heat given out by the cooling plate, and expanded alone without connection with the steam, while the steam condenses as if the plate were not there. When the water forms a film on the surface of the plate, it is probable that this is really what takes place--a question which we shall resume in a later chapter. Again, when a mixture of steam and water expands, either adiabatically, or in contact with a plate, we may, if we please, separate mentally any part of the water from the rest, and consider it as a solid plate giving out heat as its temperature falls; so long ...
