Regnault has shown that the total amount of heat, existing in a given weight of steam, increases slightly with the pressure, so that the sum of the latent and sensible heats do not form a constant quantity.
Yes; the heat in steam is nearly a constant quantity, at all pressures, but not so precisely.
We, moreover, speak of the conservation of energy, instead of the conservation of force; and say that the sum of the potential and dynamic energies of the material universe is a constant quantity.
Now an ounce of zinc, like an ounce of coal, produces by its complete combustion in air a constant quantity of heat.
Taking repulsion as well as attraction into account, the principle of the conservation of force affirms that the mechanical value of the tensions and vires vivae of the material universe, so far as we know it, is a constant quantity.
It is most important to recognise in respect to the water of crystallisation that its ratio to the quantity of the substance with which it is combined is always a constant quantity.
In a given space, at a given temperature, a constant quantityof vapour enters, whatever be the pressure of the gas filling that space.

Cancel the words: but the sum total of civil power is a constant quantity, the same for all States.
In most cases arising in practice, the coefficient L may be considered to be a constant quantity, just as the resistance R is usually considered constant.
Therefore the inductance of a coil having an iron core is not a constant quantity as is the inductance of an air core coil.
The coefficient L for a given coil is a constant quantity so long as the magnetic permeability of the material surrounding the coil does not change.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "constant quantity" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
