Summary:DURING one of the long interruptions of an experimental investigation of cylinder condensation in steam-engines,* I was moved to attack the problem mathematically, making use of the well known methods of treating heat conduction, which are set forth to advantage in Riemann's Partielle Differentialgleichungen. I carried the process far enough to see that the waves of heat produced at the inner surface of the cylinder wall, by the fluctuations of steam temperature during each stroke of the piston...
