We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Fig. o. Photograph of assembled calorimeter oven and placed (opened part down) over the film sprocket. As the warm film is surrounded by air at constant temperature and a relatively thick layer of wood, and as the interval needed to remove the box from the oven and place it in the above position is only a few seconds, the change in heat content of the film is very small. There is a possibility of a small loss of heat occurring as the film passes over the sprocket. The film was introduced into the inner chamber at various speeds ranging from (85-240) feet per minute. From a few preliminary trials, it was ascertained that the film should, be stored in the oven at least 24 hours to insure temperature equilibrium. It may be of interest at this point to consider the probable error that may be expected in measurements of the specific heat. Following are given the approximate magnitudes of the various factors concerned and the uncertainty in measurement of each. Mass of film 500 ± 1 gram Change in temperature of calorimeter 4.00 + .03° Water equivalent in calorimeter 961+6 gram calories Difference between the initial and final temperature 12.00 + .15° of the film Using these values, it can be shown that the percentage deviation of a single determination will be ±1.58% and the percentage deviation of the mean of four determinations will be ± .8%. 97
