Page 329 - ... separately to determine its best quantitative arrangement, and ultimately compare the different methods to ascertain their relative values. To do this, the question may be attacked in two different ways, depending on the purpose for which the solution is required. Namely, either the solution is to be made when considering the line as a variable conductor only, but not acting perceptibly as a Leyden jar; or the line is to be considered as constant in conduction and insulation, but acting as a...
Page 28 - These formulae are only applicable to passages whose diameter is small in proportion to their length. For short passages the length should be increased by about 50 diameters of the passage : thus the formula for circular passages becomes and that for irregular-shaped passages, The value 0-03 is reduced from a formula explained by Mr.

Page 329 - D and S are two known functions which must be rigidly equal to zero when no variation in the system occurs ; and which for any given variation in the system must be as small as possible, and approximate rapidly towards zero as the variation in the system becomes smaller and smaller. Thus the solution of the problem for any given duplex method will always be a question of the Minima and Maxima Calculus.
