It is impossible to perform this process absolutely without waste of heat. In some experiments by Mr. Siemens, on air, the waste of heat at each stroke appears to have been about one-twentieth pact of the heat altematelj abstracted from and restored to the airj and in the air engines of the ship "Ericsson," about one- tenth. 269. iMdkikttile lAmm, — One condition of the economical work- ing of the economizer is, that the quantity of heat given out by the fluid during any given stage of the lowe...ring of its temperature shall be equal to the quantity received by it during the corresponding stage of the raising of its temperature. This condition is realized in the following manner : — Let E F be an arbitrary line representing the mode of variation of the pressure and volume of _ the fluid during the lowering of its temperature. p 1 02 Let G H be the corresponding line for the raising ^' of the temperature of the fluid. Let K L, M N, be any pa>ir of isothermal lines, intersecting G H in A and D, and E F in B and C, respectively.
