When however, a comparison was made with 7 the experiments of Langen at high temperatures, the calcu-lated specific heat curves were found to be too low. After repeated attempts to correct these difficulties,it was decided, that a different form of the characteristicequation was needed. The results of the further investiga-tion are given in the following 18 Part Revised meet the objections raised by Davis and Heck and alsoto embody the conclusions set forth at the beginning ofthis discussion, the characteristic equation has been giv-en the form, pv = BT - p(l+ 3aps)| metric units B=; 3a=; log M=; n = equation is essentially the same as the previous equa-tion with the exception of the p term within the paren- i thesis. The combined value of 3ap- being materially greaterthan the single term ap of the former equation. Taking thesquare root of p instead of the first power has a very ben-ifioial effect upon all the values above 400°F. Comparingthe latent heat values of the table on page 25 and thecurves on the preceding page, it is seen very clearly, thatthe Clapeyron - Clausius relation has been satisfied to amarked degree. The specific heat formula becomes, and the total heat formula becomes, iaat=A!E + *Bl2 -|- !Ma±i!p(l +
