To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Since oxygen is more condensable than nitrogen, liquid air contains a larger proportion of the former element than gaseous air. The cooling effect of expansion of a compressed gas with per- formance of external work is much greater than that of free expansion; rand the Claude process combines these two effects, in which air is compressed to 40-50 atmospheres, and then divided into two parts. One of these parts is allowed to expand in a cylinder, so as to perform external work, and the air so co...oled then surrounds the other compressed part of the air, which is thus sufficiently cooled to liquefy at once by free expansion. Con- siderable economy of power is effected by this device. The Liquefaction of Hydrogen and Helium. Pictet imagined that he had liquefied hydrogen, and described this substance as a steel-blue liquid. This, however, was a mistake. Wroblewski, in 1884, first converted hydrogen into- a "liquide dynamique " having the appearance of an instantaneous froth, by cooling the gas to the boiling-point of the oxygen, and then suddenly expanding it, according to Cailletet's method, from 100 atmospheres to 1 atmosphere pressure; and, Olszewski, in 1891, 108 CHEMICAL THEORY performed similar experiments, but failed to obtain hydrogen as a " static liquid" showing a meniscus, because no liquid was available having a boiling-point lower than that of oxygen, by means of which the hydrogen gas might be cooled.
