Page 401 - ... shall be equal to the given temperature t', it may easily be shown that the vertical projections of the two segments of this line made by the point of the initial state and the surface of dissipated energy represent the two quantities required.* These problems may be modified so as to make them approach more nearly the economical problems which actually present themselves, if we suppose the body to be surrounded by a medium of constant pressure and temperature, and let the body and the medium...
Page 318 - Watt's indicator lias doubtless contributed to render it popular. On the other hand a method involving the notion of entropy, the very existence of which depends upon the second law of thermodynamics, will doubtless seem to many far-fetched, and may repel beginners as obscure and difficult of comprehension. This inconvenience is perhaps more than counterbalanced by the advantages of a method which makes the second law of thermodynamics so prominent, and gives it so clear and elementary an expression.

Page 400 - Council, it may not be out of place to add a few words on the consequences which have either followed or have been supposed to follow from it.
Page 372 - In this stage, the young lobsters swim very rapidly by means of the abdominal legs, and dart backwards, when disturbed with the caudal appendages, frequently jumping out of the water in this way like shrimp which their movements in the water much resemble. They appear to live a large part of the time at the surface, as in the earlier stages, and were often seen swimming about among other surface animals. They were frequently taken from the 8th to the 28th of July, and very likely occur much later.
Page 308 - The term entropy, it will be observed, is here used in accordance with the original suggestion of Clausius, and not in the sense in which it has been employed by Professor Tait and others after his suggestion. The same quantity has been called by Professor Rankine the Thermodynamic function.
Page 372 - In color they resemble closely the adult, but the green color of the back is lighter, and the yellowish markings upon the claws and body are proportionately larger. In this stage, the young lobsters swim very rapidly by means of the abdominal legs, and dart backward, when disturbed, with the caudal appendages, frequently jumping ont of the water in this way like shrimp, which their movements in the water much resemble.
Page 316 - THE general character, which shows an important advantage on the side of the entropy-temperature diagram. In thermodynamic problems, heat received at one temperature is by no means the equivalent of the same amount of heat received at another temperature. For example, a supply of a million calories at 150* is a very different thing from a supply of a million calories at 50°.

Page 375 - ... appendages, or decapodal legs, are wholly wanting, as are also the abdominal legs, while the two anterior pairs of maxillipeds, or all of them, are developed into locomotive organs. In no period of their development do they have all the decapodal legs furnished with natatory exopodal branches. There are undoubtedly larval forms closely allied to those of Homarus in some of the groups of Macrourans, although they appear to be as yet unknown. "Notwithstanding these larval forms of the lobster seem...
