 of the Maximum Weight of Saturated Aqueous Vapour which can be contained in 1 kilo, 

 of Air at Different Pressure and Temperatures — Calculation of the Necessary Weight and 

 Volume of Air, and of the Least Expenditure of Heat, per Drying Apparatus with Heated 

 Air, at the Atmospheric Pressure: A, With the Assumption that the Air is Completely Satur- 

 ated with Vapour both before Entry and after Exit from the Apparatus — B, When the 

 Atmospheric Air is Completely Saturated before entry, but at its exit is only ?, i or J Saturated 

 — C, When the Atmospheric Air is not Saturated with Moisture before Entering the Drying 

 Apparatus — Drying Apparatus, in which, in the Drying Chamber, a Pressure is Artificially 

 Created, Higher or Lower than that of the Atmosphere — Drying by Means of Superheated 

 Steam, without Air — Heating Surface, Velocity of the Air Current, Dimensions of the Drying 

 Room, Surface of the Drying Material, Losses of Heat — Index.
