more or less, by the application of work energy. This distortional movement is the external evidence of the energy process of transformation. Energy is stored in the material against the forces of cohesion (§ 15). But the energy thus stored is only a small proportion of the total work energy which accrues to the gas in the heating process. The remainder is stored in the gas itself, and the evidence of such storage is found simply in the increase of pressure. Different energy machines thus offer different facilities for the transformation or the storage of the applied energy. In every case where the work energy applied has no opportunity of expending itself, its presence will be indicated by an increase in the pressure or work function of the gas. [Illustration: FIG. 8] The principles which underlie the above phenomena can readily be applied to other cases of gaseous expansion. It is a matter of common experience that if a given mass of gaseous material be introduced into a vessel which has been exhausted by an air-pump or other device for the production of a vacuum, the whole space within the vessel is instantly permeated by the gas, which will expand until its volume is precisely that of the containing vessel. Further phenomena of the operation are that the expanding gas suffers a decrease in temperature and pressure corresponding to the degree or ratio of the expansion. Before the expansive process took place the gaseous mass, as indicated by its initial temperature and pressure, is endowed with a definite quantity of energy in the form of heat and work energy. After expansion, these quantities are diminished, as indicated by its final and lower temperature and pressure. The operation of expansion has thus involved an expenditure of energy. This expenditure takes place in virtue of the movement of the gaseous material (§ 4). It is obvious that if the volume of the whole is to be increased, each portion of the expanding gas requires to move relatively to the remainder. This movement is carried out in the lines of the earth's gravitative attraction, and to a certain extent over the surface of the containing vessel. In some respects, it thus corresponds simply to the movement of a body over the earth's surface (§ 16). It is also carried out against the viscous or frictional forces existing throughout the gaseous material itself (§ 29). Assuming no influx of energy from without, the energy expended in the movement of the gaseous material must be obtained at the expense of the inherent heat and work energy of the gas, and these two functions will decrease simultaneously. The heat and work energy of the gas or its inherent energy is thus taken to provide the energy necessary for the expansive movement. This energy, however, does not leave the gas, but still resides therein in a form akin to that of energy of position or separation. It will be clear also, that the reverse operation cannot, in
