In the case of hydrogen, the-results of these experiments agree very closely with those of the experiments of Dulong (Comptes Rendus, vol. vii.), the total heat of combustion of one pound of hydrogen being, According to Favre and Silbermann, 62,032 British units. According to the mean of Dulong's experiments, In the case of carbon, the agreement amongst different experimenters is less close. The following is a comparison of some of the results given by them: --Dulong (mean), 12,906 Despretz, 14,040 Favre and Silbermann, 14,500 The result arrived at by MM. Favre and Silbermann is adopted in this treatise, because it was obtained by means of the mercurial calorimeter--an instrument from which great accuracy may be expected--and because amongst a number of different results as to total heat of combustion, the highest is on the whole the most likely to be correct, most of the errors being caused by losses of heat. 225. Kinds and ingredients of Fuel.--The ingredients of every kind of fuel commonly used may be thus classed: --(I.) Fixed or free carbon, which is left in the form of charcoal or coke after the volatile ingredients of the fuel have been distilled away. This ingredient burns either wholly in the solid state, or part in the solid state and part in the gaseous state, the latter part being first dissolved by previously formed carbonic acid, as already explained. (II.) Hydrocarbons, such as olefiant gas, pitch, tar, naphtha, &c, all of which must pass into the gaseous state before being burned. If mixed on their first issuing from amongst the burning carbon with a large quantity of air, these inflammable gases are completely burned with a transparent blue flame, producing carbonic acid and steam. When raised ...
