Excerpt from Air and Gas CompressionRecent researches in the properties of gases, especially in regard to compressibility, critical data, and specific heats, have prompted me to attempt to apply some of the results attained to the solution of the problems Of air and gas compression. Although I realize that there is still much to be learned about the behavior of gases, especially under high pressure, I feel that I have gathered together sufficient data to warrant the publication Of a new textbook on the theory of compression, and hope that it will prove useful in stimulating further thought along the lines which I have laid out.The application of compressibility correction factors to the funda mental compression equations is of recent origin, perhaps growing out of similar developments in the measurement Of gas by orifice meter. It is evident that the theories of compression and Of gas measurement should go hand in hand, and that no refinements in the knowledge of compres sion can be made without adequate and accurate metering facilities.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
