Paper, 'Clausius's formula for the change of state from liquid to gas applied to Messrs. Ramsay and Young's observations on alcohol' by George Francis Fitzgerald
Reference number: PP/10/28
Date: 1887
Description
Fitzgerald writes: 'Clausius, in Wiedemann’s "Annalen", vol. 14, 1881, pp. 279—290, and "Phil. Mag.", vol. 12, 1881, p. 381, and vol. 13, 1882, p. 132, has given an empirical formula for calculating the relation between the volume, pressure, and temperature of a substance in both liquid and gaseous states. The equation he gives is a continuous one for an isothermal, and he determines the pressure at which evaporation takes place by considering that the work done in the transformation from liquid to gas at a constant pressure must be equal to what would be done if the transformation took place along the continuous isothermal.'
