Synopsis

Explore the early experiments that shaped our understanding of the air we breathe. This edition gathers key studies and demonstrations on how gases respond to pressure, temperature, and density, including practical methods and diagrams from Boyle’s era.

In these pages you’ll find clear explanations of how pressure, volume, and temperature relate in gases, along with hands-on descriptions of instruments used to measure them. The text blends historical narrative with concrete experimental detail, presenting the ideas that guided the science of the day.

• Explanations of gas compressibility and elasticity with step-by-step experimental setups


• Descriptions of instruments like the free-piston manometer and other pressure-measuring devices


• Discussion of the relationship between atmospheric pressure and gas behavior


• Historical context that connects early experiments to foundational gas laws

Ideal for readers of the history of science and anyone curious about how early researchers approached gas behavior and measurement.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Présentation de l'éditeur

From the PREFACE.
Of course anybody may read the famous Memoirs of Amagat in the original; but everybody cannot so easily get these papers permanently into his possession. I believe, therefore, with the present translations to have scored a point in the interest of accessibility, and thus to have materially contributed to the advancement of science.
