Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed examination of the relationship between molecular constitution and internal friction of gases. Focusing on the meticulous work of Frederick Malling Pedersen, an instructor at the College of the City of New York, the text explores the crucial role of molecular structure in determining the viscosity of gases. Pedersen's research, conducted in the early 20th century, involved intricate experiments using various gases, including ethers. The author provides a comprehensive overview of historical research on gas viscosity, from the foundational work of Newton and Coulomb to the contributions of Maxwell, Meyer, and Warburg. This book not only documents Pedersen's significant findings but also places them within the context of a century of scientific inquiry. By establishing a connection between the size of molecules and the friction they encounter, Pedersen's work laid the groundwork for future advancements in the study of gas dynamics and molecular physics. 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.…
