Sinossi
Excerpt from Lectures on Some Recent: Advances in Physical Science With a Special Lecture on Force
Professor Clausius has so long, and so repeatedly, claimed as his own the correct proof of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, that no one can be astonished to find him unwilling to allow that his claims are unfounded.
But I must protest against his making accusations of deliberate suppression, etc., and repeating them in the indirect and offensive form of a statement that he did not apply them to Sir W. Thomson.
There has been nothing in the language I have employed, even had it been tenfold more pointed, which is not admissible in fair and temperate discussion. I have made no charges (though strongly tempted to do so by Professor Clausius' first letter), I have simply examined historical facts and given what appears to me to be the natural and inevitable conclusion from them. But, after having taken every precaution to insure accuracy, to be first accused of deliberate suppression, and then to be told that the tone of my far too mild reply renders it impossible for Professor Clausius to continue the discussion, is a trifle too much.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns itself with energy in physics, beginning from the foundational observations of scientists like Newton and Rumford. It examines our understanding of energy, how it can be transformed and dissipated, and its significance within the universe. The author divides energy into two forms: potential and kinetic. The former derives from position, such as an object on a shelf. The latter occurs when an object is moving. Energy may be used, or transformed into another form, but it cannot be destroyed. The universe, the author theorizes, trends towards a state of uniform temperature and energy distribution. He terms this "dissipation of energy" because it entails the loss of useful forms of energy. Grasping these concepts, the author suggests, may provide insight into the cosmos on scales both grand and small. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781330094747_0
