Abstract
LONDON. Royal Society, May 1.—Sir Archibald Geikie, K.C.B., president in the chair.—Prof. E. H. Griffiths and Ezer Griffiths: The capacity for heat of metals at different temperatures. The thermal capacity, at various temperatures between o° and 100°, of the following metals has been determined:—Cu, Al, Fe, Zn, Ag, Cd, Sn, and Pb. The work at lower temperatures will be published later. The variation in the thermal capacity can be represented (over the range o° to 100°) by the following parabolic equations, the difference between the calculated and experimental values in no case exceeding 0·2 per cent. In the large majority of cases the difference is less than 0·1 per cent.
