- I. On the nature of Thermal agency, considered as a motive power.
- CARNOT’S THEORY OF THE STEAM-ENGINE.
- Hence the expression for the area of the quadrilateral figure becomes

- Hence, by subtraction, we have
- EXPLANATION OF TABLE I.
- EXPLANATION OF TABLE II.
- II. _On the Heat developed by the Compression of Air._
- Comparing this with the expression above, we find
- 50. Hence we infer that—

- The volume will be given by the equation
- If we suppose _r_ = 0 when _v_ = 1, we shall have _C_ = 0; whence
- Subtracting equation (2), we have
- Subtracting the preceding equation, we have
- Multiplying both by _dt_ and integrating, we have
- As _Ft_ = 0 when _t_ = 0, _B_ is 0; thus
- If we suppose (¹¹⁵⁄₁₁₆)^{_x_} = ½, we find
