Abstract
SEEING that on p. 1836 of their paper (loc. cit) Dr. Payman and Prof. Wheeler rightly stressed the fact that “with moist carbonic oxide the speed of flame varies considerably with the concentration of water vapour and is therefore subject to alteration from day to day if the temperature of saturation alters”, it is curious to find them now citing an alleged correspondence between some of two sets of flame-speed measurements for moist CO—O2 media saturated at 13.1° and 15.0° (water vapour=11.3 and 12.73 mm.), respectively, as confirming the former. For when the difference between the two saturation temperatures is allowed for, the seeming correspondence vanishes.
