The Birth-Time of the World and Other Scientific Essays —In keeping with the first two laws of thermodynamics, organisms can neither create nor destroy energy but can only transform it from one form to another. Tokyo to Tijuana: Gabriele Departing America Thus, from the first law of thermodynamics, we learn that wherever we have heat we have the power to do work, and the amount of work so done is proportionate to the heat used up. Aether and Gravitation Yet ordinary thermodynamics could not account for experimentally realizable states of equilibrium in the phenomena of viscosity and friction, since this science declares them to be impossible. The New Physics and Its Evolution An Introduction to thermodynamics, the kinetic theory of gases and statistical mechanics. U.S. Copyright Renewals, 1977 July - December Such attempts as have been made to design air-engines on a large scale have been practical failures, and are now interesting only as.steps in the historical development of applied thermodynamics. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 The science of thermodynamics has been brought to as great perfection as possible. Marvels of Modern Science We have already seen, according to the laws of thermodynamics, that heat will flow from a higher temperature to a lower one, with the result that work is done. Aether and Gravitation If we reject this hypothesis, it will then be allowable to introduce into thermodynamics laws previously excluded, and it will be possible to construct, as M. Duhem has done, a much more comprehensive theory. The New Physics and Its Evolution It is in this case alone that can be correctly applied the celebrated demonstration by which Kirchhoff established, by considerations borrowed from thermodynamics, the proportional relations between the power of emission and that of absorption. The New Physics and Its Evolution Several authors, M. Raveau in particular, have indeed given very simple demonstrations of this law which are not based on thermodynamics; but thermodynamics, which led to its discovery, continues to give it its true scope. The New Physics and Its Evolution The problem of solution may be approached by way of thermodynamics and of the hypotheses of kinetics. The New Physics and Its Evolution But, for a long time afterwards, the question made little progress, because there seemed to be hardly any means of introducing into this study the second principle of thermodynamics. The New Physics and Its Evolution The question, moreover, has had a new light thrown upon it by the application of the principles of thermodynamics and of the phase rule. The New Physics and Its Evolution He has endeavoured to rediscover, by starting with the fundamental hypothesis, the quantitative laws discovered by thermodynamics. The New Physics and Its Evolution Calculation has enabled M. Van der Waals, by the application of his kinetic theories, and M. Duhem, by means of thermodynamics, to foresee most of the results which have since been verified by experiment. The New Physics and Its Evolution The existence of these pressures may be otherwise foreseen even apart from the electromagnetic theory, by adding to the theory of undulations the principles of thermodynamics.
