Determination of exponents of adiabatics

A paper showing that no simple relationship exists between the values of adiabatic exponents and specific, latent or total heats. Algebraic and graphical methods of determination are used. Tables of average and instantaneous values of n, with their corresponding sheets of curves, are given for steam, carbon disulphide, ether, carbon tetrachloride and acetone. Surfaces having intantaneous exponent, pressure and quality values on coordinate axes are shown.
