‎---- Neuvième REVUE, CORRIGEE et AUGMENTEE ---- POINSOT'S BEST KNOWN WORK" (DSB VI) ---- "L. Poinsot (1777/1859), a graduate of the Polytechnic School in Paris, and for many years member of the superior council of public instruction, published in 1804 his Eléments de statique. This work is remarkable not only as being the earliest introduction to synthetic mechanics, but also as containing for the first time the idea of couples, which was applied by Poinsot in a publication of 1834 to the theory of rotation. A clear conception of the nature of rotary motion was conveyed by Poinsot's elegant geometrical representation by means of means of an ellipsoid rolling on a certain fixed plane. This construction was extended by J.J. Sylvester so as to measure the rate of rotation of the ellipsoid on the plane".

‎First printing of the paper in which - after being persuated by a committee lead by Arago to make further experiments - Poiseuille generalized the law named after him, first announced in 1840. He studied experimentally the flow of different liquids through capillary tubes, and found the law named after him, that relates the flow to the pressure, the diameter and the lenght of the tube and to the viscosity of the liquid. Poiseuille's investigations are fundamental in blood viscosimetry. ""Poiseuille's work represents a major advance in blood pressure measurements""(Gedeon p. 189).""Poiseuille’s paper (the 1840-paper) was reviewed by a committee consisting of Arago, Piobert, and Regnault. They persuaded him to make further experiments with ether and mercury, and these investigations were published in 1847 (the paper offered). He found that ether yielded the same law as distilled water, whereas mercury obeyed a different law. In 1870 Emil Gabriel Warburg found that mercury obeys the Poiseuille law, except for certain anomalies caused by amalgamation in metal tubes.""(DSB). The paper was also printed at the same time in ""Comptes Rendues"".The volume contains other notable papers by August Laurent, Matteucci, Bravais, Senarmont ""Mémoire sur la Conductibilité des Substances cristallisées pour la Chaleur"", pp. 457-470.‎

‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- EXEMPLAIRE BIEN COMPLET DU SUPPLEMENT PARU EN 1837 qui a été relié, dans cet exemplaire, en tête du volume ---- "AN IMPORTANT WORK IN WHICH POISSON FORMULATES EQUATIONS FOR THE DISTRIBUTIONS OF HEAT IN BODIES. As opposed to Fourier, who maintained in his mémoire analytique de la chaleur that the conductibility of heat was contained in the motion of flux, POISSON showed that it must be derived form an absorptive coefficient restoring the neglected functionall dimension. Following his preliminary notes, POISSON devotes chapters to the laws of radiating heat, laws of cooling for bodies which have the same temperatue at all points, the movement of heat in the interior of solid bodies or liquids, movement of heat to the surface of a body of any form, digression on the integrales of equations with partial differences and a digression on the manner of expressing arbitrary functions by series of periodic quantities followed by a continuation of he same digression. Additional chapters are devoted to the distribution of heat in a bar whose transversal dimensions are very small, distribution of heat in spherical bodies and distributio of heat in various bodies, especially in a homogenous sphere originally warned in any manner, and the movement of heat in the interior and at the surface of the earth. He concludes with a series of three notes, the first relative to the equation of movement for heat at the interior of bodies, the second on molecular radiation, and the third relating to section 152 of the texte.... The supplement consists of a memoir read to the Academy of Science, to which have been joined some notes developing certain points in the memoir, principally relating to the temperatures of the globe and of space at different epoch".

‎First appearance of Poisson's importent paper on the mathematical treatment of ""specific heats"".""In ""Sur la chaleur des gaz et des vapeurs,"" published in August 1823 in Annales de chimie et de physique, Poisson developed ideas published four months before by Laplace in Book XII of Mécanique céleste. Poisson introduced all the precautions needed to render the confused notion of quantity of heat susceptible to mathematical analysis. He called quantity of heat the magnitude that characterizes the transition of a given mass of gas from an arbitrary initial state of temperature and pressure to another state. This definition makes more abstract the quantitative aspect that naturally follows from the concept of heat as a caloric fluid. Poisson could thus deal comfortably with this magnitude, since for him it is simply a function q of p, p, and ø (pressure, density, and temperature). The equation of state p= ap(1+aø) was already classic, and the growing acceptance of the notions of specific heats, at constant pressure and constant volume, allowed him to write the simple partial differential equation of which should be the integral. He also showed that independently of any additional hypothesis, and whatever the arbitray function used in the integration, the adiabatic transformations (the term did not yet exist) correspond to the formulas p · py = constant and (?+266.67)·p1y= constant, y being the ratio of the specific heats, assumed constant.""(DSB).‎

‎""Beginning in 1824 Poncelet had essentially shifted his attention from geometry to applied mechanics. Although he had previously studied certain machines and ways of improving them, it was during the summer of 1824 that he achieved his first important innovation: the design and realization of an undershot waterwheel with curved paddles, which possessed a much increased efficiency. The paper he wrote on this subject gained him a prize in mechanics from the Académie des Sciences in 1825. After new trials conducted on full-scale models, he presented a revised version of his study in 1827. Yet, most of his activity at this period was devoted to elaborating and continually updating the course in mechanics applied to machines that he gave from 1825 to 1834."" (DSB).‎
