e Condensers.—The proper discussion of condens-ers can be given only in connection with the theory of thesteam-engine, though it is commonly treated as a separateproblem. Let Fig. 47 represent the cylinder of a steam-engine and asurface condenser. The piston is at the end of the stroke, and the… … tammg a weight M^ of steam and Fig. water, having the condition deter-mined by t^ and x^. We may im-agine the process to be divided intotwo parts: (i) the steam and waterin the cylinder and condenser min-gle, and are reduced to the temperature t^; (2) the pistonpasses to the other end of the stroke…
