The isothermal curves for a givensubstance being knoum, and tin- quantities of heat required to produce all variationsof actual heat at a given constant volume; it is required to find any number ofpoints in a curve of no transmission passing through a… … Fig. 13. for example, to find the point where the curve of no transmission passingthrough A1 intersects the isothermal curve A2 Q2. On the line VA A2 A1?as an axis of abscissa?, describe a curve C C, whose ordinates (such asA2 C2, aA cA, &c.) are proportional to the specific heat of the…
