Extract

Sir,

I Have examined my memorandums, concerning the observations I made on the condensed air in the air vault of the Devon Iron Works, near Alloa; and, according to your request, I now transmit you an account of them; and also of an experiment I made, when a partner and manager of these works, in order to increase the produce of blast furnaces.

D, V its velocity, and P the power by which it is forced through the aperture: then the area of that aperture being as D2, the quantity of the fluid issuing in the given time will be as VD2, or VD2 = Q.
