known as saturated steam. If it contains no actual water in the form of mist or priming, it is called dry saturated steam. If this be heated and the pressure maintained the same as when it was vaporized,, its temperature will increase and it will become superheated, that is, its temperature will be higher than that of saturated steam at the same pressure. The relation between pressure and specific volume for dry saturated steam is given by the experimental equation (Goodenough) as:
where
= 484.2
(1)
p -- the pressure in pounds per square inch. v -- the specific volume.
The total heat of a dry saturated vapor for any pressure and temperature is the sum of the heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of the liquid from the freezing point to the given temperature and cor responding pressure plus the heat required entirely to vaporize it at this pressure.
Steam which is in contact with the water from which it was generated is called wet saturated steam if it contains more or less actual water in the form of mist or priming. The percentage of dry steam in a mixture of steam and water is known as the quality (x) of the steam. The total heat of wet vapor at any pressure and temperature is the sum of the heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of the liquid from the

AIR
Composition. Air is a mechanical mixture made up, by volume, of 20.91 per cent of oxygen and 79.09 per cent of nitrogen, or by weight, of 23.15 per cent of oxygen and 76.85 per cent of nitrogen. Air as found in nature always contains other constituents in varying amounts, such as carbon dioxide, ozone, water vapor, dust, bacteria,, etc.
The specific density or weight per cubic foot of dry air decreases with an increase in temperature; and the specific volume, or volume per pound, increases with such increase. The specific heat of air at constant pressure, or the Btu required to raise the temperature of one pound one degree Fahrenheit, varies from 0.2375 to 0.2430 as determined by various in vestigators. The value 0.24 is recommended for engineering calculations. It has been found that a given volume of air expands when heated under constant pressure, and again that if the temperature of a given volume of air be kept constant and the pressure increased, contraction takes place. These changes follow definite laws, which apply to other gases as well as air, known as the laws of perfect gases.. These laws do not generally apply to steam, since it is not a perfect gas, but superheated steam at high temperatures follows the laws approximately. (See Tables 5, 6, 7 and 8).
Boyle's Law refers to the relation between the pressure and volume of a
