one hundred parts, and if the division be continuedto the closed ends, there will be 273.7 divisions below freezingpoint. The degrees may be numbered beginning at the closedend ; and the temperatures on such scale will be represented by r= 273.7 +A Now, any equation with three variables may be… … Fig. the surface is such that each section perpendicular to the T isa rectangular hyperbola (Fig. i). Returning now to the general case,and abstaining from adopting any spe-cific scale of temperature, it is apparentthat the characteristic equation of anysubstance may be represented by ageometrical…
