‎First edition of the paper in which the term ""Ultraviolet Catastrophe"" appeared for the first time. ""Ehrenfest was one of the first to try to understand the significance of the strange new concept of energy quanta that Max Planck had introduced into physics in 1900 in his theory of blackbody radiation. In a series of papers culminating in his major study of 1911 (the paper offered), ""Which Features of the Quantum Hypothesis Play an Essential Role in the Theory of Heat Radiation?,"" Ehrenfest picked out the essentials of the early quantum theory and showed how they fit together. He proved rigorously that the energy of electromagnetic vibrations cannot take on all values - cannot vary continuously - if the total energy of the blackbody radiation in an enclosure is to be finite: Planck’s assumption that energy is a discrete variable was, therefore, logically necessary and not just sufficient. Ehrenfest also showed, by an analysis of Wien’s displacement law, that the ratio of energy to frequency was the only variable that could be quantized for a harmonic oscillator, if one wanted to maintain the statistical interpretation of entropy.""(DSB).‎

‎First appearance of this milestone paper which represents the first, and most importent, step towards his great work laid down in ""Über die Erhaltung der Kraft"", 1847. This is Helmholtz' FIRST PAPER ON THE CONSERVATION OF FORCE""At the beginning of October, 1846, Helnmholtz sent a 'Report on Work done on the Theory of Animal Heat for 1845', at du Bois' request, to the ""Fortschritte der Physik"", issued by the Physical Society. (the paper offered). This was merely an abstract from the article in the Encyclopaedic Dictionary.....BUT IT ANTICIPATES MORE DEFINITELY THE CONDCLUSIONS OF HIS GREAT WORK. He states without hesitation that the material theory of heat is no longer tenable, and that a kinetic theory must be substituted for it, since heat originates in mechanical forces, either directly by friction, or indirectly from an electrical current produced by themotion of magnets. This conception of heat as a motion involves the conclusion that mechanical, electrical and chemical forces must always be the definite equivalent of one and the same energy, whatever the mode by which one force is transformed into another. The empirical confirmation of this law must be the imperative duty of physicists and physiologists.""(Leo Koenigsberger in ""Hermann von Helmholtz"", pp. 34-35).""In the ""Fortschritte der Physik"" for 1845, which appeared in 1847, Helmholtz published a report on theories of physiological heat which he later acknowledged as belonging to his work on the conversation of force.""(Jungnickel & McCormach ""Intellectual Masteryof Nature, Vol. 1, p. 157).‎

‎First apperance - in full - of this importent paper in which for the first time the 2 laws of thermodynamics were applied to electrical phenomena. Parts of the paper were published already in 1877.""In 1877 Helmholtz attempted to predict theoretically the electromotive force of a galvanic cell for different concentrations of a salt solution. Under certain conditions the cell can be treated as a reversible cycle and the laws of Carnot and Clapeyron applied to it. The theory was in substantial agreement with experimental data by James Moser.""(DSB). - The Moser-paper confirming Helmholtz theory is printed here on pp. 216-219, taken from Monatsberichte der Berl. Akad., 1877.""In his work 'On Galvanic Currents', Helmholtz was the first to apply the two laws of thermodynamics to electricity. In order to keep up a current of electricity through any conductor it is necessary to expend a certain amount of chemical or mechanical work"" the supply of positive electricity in the positive end of the conductor must be perpetually renewed, in order to oppose the repulsive force of the positive electricity there accumulated, and the same holds for the negative electricity at the negative end.""(Koenigsberger ""Hermann von helmholtz"", pp. 309-12).‎

‎First appearance of one of Clausius' importent papers in which he gives further proofs of the Second Law of thermodynamics.""Clausius discovered that if he took the ratio of the heat content of a system and its absolute temperature, this ration would always increase in any process taken place in a closed system. (A closed system is one that loses no energy to the outside world and gains no energy from it.) With perfect efficiency, which is never realized in the real world, of course, the ratio would remain constant, but i would never, under any circumstances, decrease.""(Asimov). ‎

Il a mené de nombreuses recherches dans les domaines de l'électrochimie, de la thermodynamique, de la chimie du solide et de la photochimie. Ses découvertes incluent également l'équation qui porte son nom. - Vers 1906, Nernst établit le théorème précurseur de ce qui est aujourd'hui connu sous le nom de troisième principe de la thermodynamique. En 1911, avec Max Planck, il est le principal organisateur du Congrès Solvay à Bruxelles. Cette même année, il fonde lInstitut de chimie physique et délectrochimie de l'Institut Kaiser-Wilhelm, à Göttingen. En 1920, Nernst obtint le prix Nobel de chimie « en reconnaissance de son travail en thermochimie ». Il fut également lauréat de la médaille Franklin en 1928. Il devient, en 1932, membre étranger de la Royal Society. Il stoppa ses recherches universitaires en 1933. Il était alors professeur de physique à l'université de Berlin. - Le théorème de Nernst est un théorème de thermodynamique statistique. Il correspond au principe de Nernst en thermodynamique classique. La différence dans l'appellation provient du fait qu'en thermodynamique statistique le théorème de Nernst se déduit de l'équation de Boltzmann. Découvert en 1906, il s'exprime ainsi : « L'entropie d'un système quelconque peut toujours être prise égale à zéro à la température du zéro absolu ». Lorsque Nernst formule ce théorème, il indique qu'il ne s'applique qu'à des sytèmes cristallins. Il a toutefois été généralisé aux liquides, aux solides et aux gaz, trois types de systèmes macroscopiques. Le théorème ne s'applique pas aux systèmes quantiques.
