Excerpt from Thermodynamics of the Steam-Engine and Other Heat-Engines In the discussion of the properties of gases and vapors the original experimental data on which the working equations, whether logical or empirical, must be based are given quite fully, to afford an idea of the degree of accuracy attainable in calculations made with their aid. Rowland's determination of the mechanical equivalent of heat has been adopted, and with it his determination of the specific heat Of water at low temperatures. The author's Tables of the Properties of Saturated Steam and Other Vapors were calculated to accompany this work, and may be considered to be an integral part of it.
