re, and a vessel B communicating with Acontains steam of 100°, then the tension of the vapor in Aand B IS = 0-46 centimeter, the same as that of steam at 0°. Upon this is based the application of the condenser tosteam engines and the process of distillation. In distill-ing, the fluid contained in… … held in solution. The vapors formed are intercepted bythe cap-shaped end of a downward directed tube A C, andthere again condensed by exterior cooling-. The condensed vapor then flows into a vessel Z>, whilethe less volatile substances remain in the retort. Toaccelerate the condensation of the…
