To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
112 X 1000 = 1112. But as this law is only approximate, and as pos- sibly it deviates much from the truth at high tem- peratures, we can only make a very rough estimate. We will suppose the number 1112 reduced one-half, that is, to 560. Since a kilogram of carbon produces 7000 units of heat, and since the number 560 is relatively 1000 units, it must be multiplied by 7, which gives 7 X 560 = 3920. This is the motive power of 1 kilogram of carbon. In order to compare this theoretical result with ...MOTIVE POWER OF HEAT. That of experiment, let us ascertain how much mo- tive power a kilogram of carbon actually develops in the best-known steam-engines. The engines which, up to this time, have shown the best results are the large double-cylinder en- gines used in the drainage of the tin and copper mines of Cornwall. The best results that have been obtained with them are as follows : 65 millions of Ibs. Of water have been raised one English foot by the bushel of coal burned (the bushel weighing 88 Ibs.
