agrees very closely, can and has been determined byindirect methods. The scale proposed is justified by the sim-plicity it introduces into thermodynamic equations, and involvesno inconsistency. The method of defining temperature just stated was firstproposed by Sir William Thomson ; and the… … 26 THERMODYNAMICS OF THE STEAM-ENGINE, In Fig. 16, let ak and bi be two adiabatic lines, and letthe substance have its condition represented by the point a.
