Unpublished paper, 'An attempt to determine the adiabatic relations of ethyl oxide. Part I: Gaseous ether' by W [William] Ramsay and E P [Edgar Philip] Perman
Reference number: AP/67/4
Date: 1891

Description
The object of Ramsay and Perman's research is the determination of the behaviour of ether in the state of gas approaching towards the state of liquid, when heat is communicated to it, so as to alter its condition adiabatically.
Annotations in pencil. Includes one diagram of experimental apparatus.
Subject: Analytical chemistry
Received 16 March 1891. Read 16 April 1891.
Whilst the Royal Society declined to publish this paper in full, an abstract of the paper was published in volume 49 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society as 'An attempt to determine the adiabatic relations of ethyl oxide. Part I. Gaseous ether'.
