MEASURING THE EFFECTS OF HEAT. 139 Curves of Expansion of a Gas in General.—When the volume ofa gas varies—either increasing or decreasing in volume—doingwork (or the reverse) and either receives or loses heat in… … Fig. 93. PVn = C, from the point b draw other curves above or below be.It is evident that some relation such as PV^ = C, P*V2 = C, PV* = C2, PV~2 = C, PV*=C, or, in general, PVn = C, might exist between the absolute pressure and its correspondingvolume at any instant of the expansion. To find an…
