he currents. The experiment isarranged as shown in fig. 395. The modein which heat is thus propagated in liquidsand in gases is said to be by convection. 415. Conductivity of gases.—It has beena disputed question whether gases have a true conductivity, that is to say, aconduction from layer to… … Fig. 395 -416] Applications 409 restrained in their motion their conductivity is very small. All substances,for instance, between whose particles air remains stationary, offer greatresistance to the propagation of heat. This is well seen in straw, eider-down, and furs. The propagation of heat in a…
