the expanding substance, isentirely reconverted into heat, and is exactly sufficient (by the definitionof the curve of free expansion) to render the communication of heat tothe substance unnecessary; from which it follows, that this area is equaltotheareaMGHX. Q. E. D. The equation of a curve of… … and from h draw the indefinitely-prolonged curve of no transmission, hn.Then because, by the proposition just proved, the areas PG G H PH andM G H N are equal, it follows that the indefinitely-prolonged area, MGhn,which represents the latent heat of expansion at the constant actualheat Q1? from the…
