Abstract
II. INFLUENCE of Aqueous Vapour on the Viscosity of Air.—In the foregoing experiments many discrepancies were traced to the presence of moisture in the gas. The influence of aqueous vapour does not appear to be great when present in moderate amount in gas of normal density, but at high exhaustions it introduces errors which interfere with the uniformity of the results. A series of experiments were accordingly undertaken to trace the special action of aqueous vapour when mixed with air.
