svolume is increased three times, its pressure will be one-third of what it was at first, and so on. This is Boyle^slaw, but M. Regnault has shown, that it will not hold inextreme cases. PRACTICAL MECHANICS. 71 Let the steam be cut off when the^ piston is at C D, andlet the remaining part of the… … ^ asis Let de, e 0, rn, &c., be lines containing as many units asthere are units of pressure on the piston at the correspond-ing points of the stroke, then the work done from A B toC D, will be the area of the rectangle a d, because the workis the product of the pressure c d, by the space d b ;…
