The above Table shows an increase of temperature nearly pro- 

 portional to the square of the velocity.

in air of the same density, would have raised the temperature

In this instance V= 4 / ,.„„^ =183'5 feet per second for 1° Cen- 

 tigrade. It is however possible that the full thermal effect was not 

 so completely attained in three minutes (the time occupied by each 

 whirling) as with the smaller bulb. On the whole it did not appear 

 to us that the experiments justified the conclusion, that an increase 

 of the dimensions of the bulb was accompanied by an alteration of 

 the thermal effect.

 of writing-paper. 



The increased thermal effect at comparatively slow velocities, exhi- 

 bited in the above Table, appeared to be owing to the friction of the 

 air against the paper surface being greater than against the polished 

 glass surface. 



One quarter of the enveloping paper was now removed, and the 

 bulb whirled with its bared part in the rear. The results were as 

 follow : —

On whirling in the contrary direction, so that the naked part of 

 the bulb went first, we got, —
