Extract

In several papers communicated to the Society within recent years the thermal effect of compressing water has been dealt with by various observers. The present paper gives the results of experiments of a similar kind to ascertain the thermal effects of compressing certain solids and liquids. These experiments were conducted in the University of Edinburgh, under the superintendence of Professor Tait.
