What reading level is Heat for Advanced Students book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Snow or powdered ice, enclosed in a suitable vessel, may be con- verted into a mass of clear transparent ice by the application of pressure. Skating. Professor Joly l has pointed out that to the above pheno- mena, depending on the lowering of the melting point of ice by pressure, may be added those attending skating, i. E. , the freedom of motion and, to a great extent, the " biting " of the skate. The pressure under the edge of a skate is very great. The blade touches for a short length of the... hog-back curve, and, in the case of smooth ice, along a line of indefinite thinness, so that until the skate has penetrated some distance into the ice the pressure obtaining is great ; in the first instance, theoretically infinite. But this pressure involves the liquefaction, to some extent, of the ice beneath the skate, and pene- tration or "bite" follows as a matter of course. As the blade sinks, an area is reached at which the pressure is inoperative, i. E. , inadequate to reduce the melting point below the temperature of the surroundings.
