ube is three parts full of water, andis closed by a cork. In making the experiment, the tube is pressed betweena wooden clamp, while the wheel is rotated with some rapidity. The waterrapidly becomes heated by the friction, and its temperature soon exceedingthe boiling-point, the cork is projected… … Fig. 421. volume diminishes. Joule has verified this in the case of water and of oil,which were exposed to pressures of 15 to 25 atmospheres. In the case ofwater at i •2°C., increase of pressure caused lowering of temperature—a resultwhich agrees with the fact that water contracts by heat at this…
