ued till the area included between an iso-thermal and the two adiabatics, continued indefinitely, shallnot be greater than one of the equal areas. This conception of the absolute zero may be made clearerby taking wide intervals of temperature, as on Fig. 17, where thecycle abed is assumed to extend… … extends to —200 ° C. The remaining area, which is of infinite length and extremely attenuated,is bounded by the isothermal ghand the two adiabatics ha and g/3.The diagram of course cannot becompleted, and consequently thearea cannot be measured; butwhen the equations to the isother-mal and the…
