Synopsis

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. 1911 Excerpt: ...pp. 5 and 55) is adopted as 4-l8o joules = 4180 x 107 ergs, being the mean of the results of Rowland (1879) arjd of Reynolds and M00rby (reduced), each of whom used a mechanical method of determining "J." Thus the values of J below do not rest on the values attributed to the electrical standards employed. The specific heat of water is a minimum at 37-5 C. The 15 calorie (according to Barnes, Proc. Roy. Soc, 1909) = 4" 184 joules, assuming the e.1n.f. of the Clark cell at 15 C. = r433o international volts. The mean calorie (= Jo of heat required to raise 1 gram of water from 0 to too0 C.) = 4-185 joules (Barnes, 1909); = 4184 joules (Reynolds and M00rby, 1897, corrected by Smith).
