Abstract
THIS book contains the results of an experimental investigation carried out during the course of several years in the Research Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The object of the research has o been to determine the vapour-pressure curve and the specific heat-capacity of liquid ammonia and the isotherms of the substance, so that the already existing data might be critically examined and supplemented and the results obtained used as a basis for the computation of a new table of the thermodynamic properties of ammonia which would prove useful in controlling the performance of refrigerating machines.
The Thermodynamic Properties of Ammonia.
Computed for the use of Engineers from new experimental data derived from investigations made at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. By F. G. Keyes and R. B. Brownlee. Pp. v + 73. (New York: John Wiley and Sons, Inc.; London: Chapman and Hall, Ltd., 1916.) Price 4s. 6d. net.
