Under a pressure of about four atmospheres, it becomes a limpid fluid of a fine yellow color, which does not freeze at zero, and is not a conductor of electricity. It immediately returns to the gaseous state with effervescence on removing the pressure.英文原著 · 《American Hand Book of the Daguerreotype》
In each family there is one single member which is indistinguishable from a member of the other family; it is called by Poincare a form of bifurcation. It is this conception of a form of bifurcation which forms the important consideration in problems dealing with the forms of liquid or gaseous bodies in rotation.英文原著 · 《Darwin and Modern Science》
It would be absurd to suppose that these stars can be uniform in density throughout, and from all that is known of celestial bodies it is probable that they are gaseous in their external parts with great condensation towards their centres. This conclusion is confirmed by arguments drawn from the theory of rotating masses of liquid. (See J.H. Jeans, "On the density of Algol variables", "Astrophysical Journ." Vol. (1905), page 97.)英文原著 · 《Darwin and Modern Science》
As we have seen, the study of the forms of equilibrium of rotating liquid is almost complete, and Jeans has made a good beginning in the investigation of the equilibrium of gaseous stars, but much more remains to be discovered. The field for the mathematician is a wide one, and in proportion as the very arduous exploration of that field is attained so will our knowledge of the processes of cosmical evolution increase.英文原著 · 《Darwin and Modern Science》
The principle of this furnace consists in utilising the heat of the products of combustion to warm up the gaseous fuel and air which enters the furnace. This is done by making these products pass through brickwork chambers which absorb their heat and communicate it to the gas and air currents going to the flame. An extremely high temperature is thus obtained, and the furnace has, in consequence, been largely used in the manufacture of glass and steel.英文原著 · 《Heroes of the Telegraph》
___(b) The Elements
�� 225 The body of individuality constitute general physical elements. �� 226 Air is a transparent but just as elastic fluid, which absorbs and penetrates everything. �� 227 Fire is materialised time. �� 228 Water can assume a gaseous and a solid state apart from its characteristic state of internal
indeterminacy. �� 229 Earth is the element of the developed difference.英文原著 · 《Philosophy of Nature》
