"RUMFORD, BENJAMIN COUNT (BENJAMIN THOMPSON). - THE MECHANICAL EQUIVALENT OF HEAT.
Reference : 45131
(1804)
An Enquiry concerning the Nature of Heat, and the Mode of its Communication. Read february 2, 1804.
(London, W. Bulmer and Co., 1804). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1804 - Part I. Pp. 77-182 and 2 engraved plates (showing his experimental apparatus). First and last leaves with some faint browning and brownspots. The plates with some browspots, mainly to margins. Wide-margined.
First appearance of Rumford's second large paper on the mechanical equivalent of heat, in which he owerthrows the caloric theory. Rumford's early papers were importent steps towards the conception of the principle of the ""Conservation of Energy"" and the thermodynamical laws.""The importence of this investigation here entered into, - inasmuch as it applies to most of the operations of nature as well as art, - appears so manifest, that we shall not recapitulate what the author advances on the subject. before he proceeds to the details of his experiments for the purpose oof computing the emissions of heat from various bodies under a variety of circumstances, he finds it necessary to prmise a minute description of the principal part of the apparatus he contrived for the purpose...""(Abstract).In his famous paper of 1798 ""An Inquiry Concerning the Source of Heat Which is Exicited by Friction"" showed that heat is a form of motion and not a substance as it was seen in the 18th century.""He had been lead to the hypothesis that friction is an inexhaustable source of heat while considering the boring of a canon at Munich's military arsenal and had proceeded to experiment with brass guns at the arsenal. The experiments confirm the hypothesis, justifying his conclusion that heat is not a material substance as others had believed. He goeson to equate heat to motion.""(Parkinson in ""Breakthroughs"" 1798 P.)

All first edition and first appearances of papers forecasting the more elaborated theories which he published in his famous work ""La Therorie analytique de la chaleur. 1822"". His analytical mathematical method, that any continous function can be represented as a sum of sine and cosine curves, is here applied to physical problems f.i. his treatment of the warming (and cooling) of the earth and terrestrial temperatures (f.i. the papers offred here no.1, 2, 4, 5 a. 6). The theory of terrestrial temperatures played a central role in Fourier's mathematical physics..An. 1. Description of the 4to volume, which was afterwards published in 1822 without the chapters on radiant heat, the solar heat as it effects the earth, the comparison of analysis with the experiment, and the history of rise and progress of the theory of heat. As such the paper contains importent applications and results not described in ""Theorie analytique...1822.""An. 2. This is a mathematiccal sketch on the sine law of emission of heat from a surface. The authors paradox on the hypothesis of equal intensity of emission in all directions, is here proved.An. 3. An elegant physical treatise on the discoveries of Newton, Pictet, Wells, Wollaston, Leslie and Prevost.An. 4. A Sketch of a memoir, mathematical and descriptive, on the waste of the earth's initial heat.An. 5. A descriptive memoir, read before the Academy 20. a. 29. Sept 1824 and later published in ""Memoires de l'Academy..."", Tome VII, 1827.An. 6. An elementary analytical account of surface-emissions and absorption based on the principle of equilibrium of temperature. This paper comes with Poisson's ""Observations relatives à un Mémoire sur l'Equilibre d'une masse fluide, inséré dans la Transactions philosophique de cette année."" Pp. 225-236.An. 7. An elementary analysis of emissionn, absorption and reflexion by walls of enclosure uniformly heated. At p. 364, Fopurier, promises a ""Theorie physique de la chaleur"" to contain the applications of the ""Theorie analytique"" omitted in teis work published 1822.

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. (source : Wikipedia) ex-libary, the binding is lightly used with minor wear (missing of clothes on the spine-end, and on the extremities of the spine, corners slightly bumped, inside is clean but with few library marks and stamps, the text remains clean and unmarked, it's still a good reading copy of the 1st English edition of this book introducing Nernst famous theroem on Thermodynamics
