Description:Excerpt from The Compression and Transmission of Illuminating Gas: A Thesis Read at the July, 1905, Meeting of the Pacific Coast Gas Association The subject of illuminating gas compression is almost a new one, and the nature of the gas is so entirely different from that of air that we are obliged to consider the question mainly from the theoretical standpoint, backed up by a few indicator cards, which have been furnished us by gas compressors. But you may be assured that all of the data given herewith is eminently practical, because there has been eliminated all of the small variables that are important from a chemical standpoint, but which the advancing piston of a compressor cylinder takes little heed of. We are not concerned about the candle power or the commercial utility of a gas, but simply with its weight and composition, and what may happen to it after it leaves the compressor cylinder is not the province of this paper. All gases are sponge like in that they hold various vapors from water vapor to carbon vapors, which they lose to a more or less extent when the sponge is squeezed as in the act of compressing in a cylinder, and what is squeezed out and how much of it is not essential to our discussion, and lies better in the realm of the technical gas engineer. We have assumed, however, that inasmuch as when we compress a gas the temperature rises in a fixed ratio to the pressures, that there is no direct tendency for a gas to change its physical condition in the compressing cylinder, for an added temperature gives an added capacity for saturation, and this probably increases in about the same ratio as the volume diminishes during compression. So that for commercial purposes we cannot be far wrong in assuming the physical condition of the gases as constant during the range of pressures that will be ordinarily met.
