This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1879 Excerpt: ...the specific heat, and d the density of the substance; then c is the thermal capacity of d units of mass, and therefore c = sd. The dimensions of c in length, mass, and time are the same as those of d, namely M--. Its numerical value will not be altered by any L3 change in the units of length, mass, and time which leaves the value of the density of water unchanged.. In the C.G.S. system, since the density of water between o and 40 is very approximately unity, the thermal capacity of unit volume of a substance is the value of the ratio increment of heat in the substance increment of heat in water for a given increment of temperature, when the comparison is between equal volumes. 103. The following table (from Miller's 'Chemical Physics, ' p. 313, fourth edition) exhibits the specific heats of most of the elementary bodies, also their atomic weights, and the product of the two: --Zinc, Cadmium, Aluminium, Iron, Nickel, -Cobalt, -Manganese, Tin, Tungsten, Molybdenum, -Copper, -Lead, Mercury, solid, liquid, Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium, Osmium, Iridium, Iodine, Bromine, solid, liquid, Potassium, Sodium, Lithium, Phosphorus, Arsenic, Antimony, Bismuth, Thallium, Silver, Gold, 104. Variation of Specific Heat with Temperature. Bede's results (' Mem. couronnes de l'Acad. de Bruxelles, ' xxvii. 1) have been summed up in the following formulae by Prof. G. C. Foster, who has communicated them to the editor of this work: According to Violle, the specific heat of platinum at f is-0317 +-000012 t, its latent heat of fusion 27-2, its melting point i775-5, and the melting point of silver 9540. According to H. F. Weber, the true specific heat of diamond at t is 0947 +-000994 /--00000036 t2. 105. The following table (from Miller's 'Chemical Physics, ' p. 307) exhibits the specif...
