If we suppose _r_ = 0 when _v_ = 1, we shall have _C_ = 0; whence

_r_ = _N_(_t_ + 267) log _v_. (2)

This is the motive power produced by the expansion of the air which,

under the temperature _t_, has passed from the volume 1 to the volume

_v_. If instead of working at the temperature _t_ we work in precisely

the same manner at the temperature _t_ + _dt_, the power developed will

be

_r_ + δ_r_ = _N_(_t_ + _dt_ + 267) log _v_.
