Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Specific Heat of Copper in the Interval 0� to 50� C: With a Note on Vacuum-Jacketed Calorimeters
Apology is hardly necessary for another paper on the specific heat of copper, notwithstanding the large number of determina tions which have already been published. One who has need of employing a figure for this quantity and turns to tables of physical constants for it finds a discordance that is somewhat discouraging. For example, in one. Of these the few results quoted which cover a common temperature interval show discrepancies of 2 per cent and those which are not in the same interval can not be reduced to a basis of comparison because the temperature coefficients there indicated 1 vary by 60 per cent of the larger or over 100 per cent of the, smaller.
