pand, and keep the temperature constant by adding heatto it. The piston will move ahead; the atmospheric pres-sure upon it will be overcome through thedistance it moves; the volume of the airwill increase and the pressure decrease,according to Mariottes law. When thepiston has moved 1 ft., the… … 1156. To show the effects of this ex-pansion upon the pressure and volumegraphically, two indefinite straight linesare drawn at right angles to each other, fig. 2->i. as O V and O A\ in Fig. 223. Any line drawn from O Xpar-allel to (9 F is called an ordinate. Choose a convenientscale, say 1 in.…
