A propos de cet article

Print on Demand. This book is a collection of seventy-two science-based, practical exercises designed for students of heat. The author, who has many years of experience in arranging and organizing laboratory work on heat, has aimed to include exercises suitable for students of different grades and backgrounds. The exercises range from those suitable for first-year students, whether of an organized school of science or of a technical institute, to more difficult exercises that may be worked on by second and third-year students taking special courses of study in electrical and mechanical engineering, chemistry, etc. The apparatus required has been designed to combine accuracy with durability, and so to avoid the annoyance caused by the constant attention and repair required by inferior instruments. Ideas for experiments have been gathered from several sources, and teachers will recognise the debt the book owes to standard works on the subject, such as Glazebrook and Shaw's Practical Physics, Schuster and Lee's Intermediate and Advanced Courses of Practical Physics, and Wiedemann and Ebert's Physikalisches Praktikum. An outstanding feature of this book is a most instructive chapter on thermometry. The use of a sensitive thermometer is so universal in scientific work that the general principles underlying its design and graduation should be thoroughly understood. The author very rightly emphasises that the temperature of the emergent column of mercury must be taken into account, and the corresponding correction applied to the observed reading, and he explains several other corrections which are often neglected. In the section dealing with expansion, the author has adopted the plan of first establishing the relation between the various thermal capacities of bodies, and then deducing the other relations which follow by simple algebraic processes. This method ensures that the student is not burdened with a collection of empirical formulae which he may be unable to remember, and which would in any case have little educational value. These exercises, which should prove useful both to teachers and students of heat, are all very carefully described, and have evidently been drawn up with the object of obtaining consistent and trustworthy results. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
