Abstract
(1.)On the Values of μ derived from Observations on the Vapours of various Liquids.An important test of the truth of the axiom on which Carnot's Theory is founded, will be afforded by comparing the values ofμdeduced from observations on various liquids. I am informed by Mons. Regnault, that, by the end of this year, data as complete as those which we at present possess for water, will be supplied for five or six different liquids, from certain investigations with which he is now occupied. Carnot gives values ofμfor the temperatures of the boiling of sulphuric ether, alcohol, water, and essence of turpentine, derived from various observations upon those liquids.
