asti-city, compression being accomplished without any correspondingincrease of pressure. This is observed so long as both steam andwater (the two phases, as they are called) are present; as thepiston moves on, more and more water is formed at the expenseof the steam, but the change in quantity of… … the steam is condensed ; after that no reduction of volume cantake place except by compression of the liquid water; then anextremely great increase of pressure is required, in proportion tothe compression produced—in other words, the coefficient ofelasticity is very great. These changes, which take…
