Synopsis

Excerpt from A New Treatise on Steam Engineering: Physical Properties of Permanent Gases and of Different Kinds of Vapor

It wasat first not intended to include in this work the steam-tables which are published in the author's pocket-book, but after having carefully investigated the Fairbairn experiments and formula for vol ume of steam and concluding that they could not be relied upon, it was therefore decided to calculate new steam-tables and extend them to a pressure of 1000 pounds to the square inch.

The relation between temperature and pressure of steam is also slightly altered in the new steam-tables so as to conform to a uniform curve or law, because the average curve adopted by Regnault does not follow a regular law, and therefore indicates that there must have been some inexactness in his experiments.
