Paris, Bachelier, 1847 a. 1848. 4to. No wrappers. In: "Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences", Tome 25, No 8 and Tome 27, No 16. Pp. (286-) 324 a. pp. (373-) 400. (Entire issues offered). Joule's paper: pp. 309-311. Mayer's paper: pp. 385-387. First apperance of the paper in which Joule presented his last and most exact measurement of "THE MECHANICAL EQUIVALENT OF HEAT" by using his famous experimental design, the Paddle-wheel experiment, the most direct demonstration of the heat-mechanical-work equivalence. - He reported his final determinations of the equivalent to the French Academy of Sciences, and presented this learned body with the iron paddle-wheel calorimeter he had used in the case of mercury, thus establishing that heat is a form of energy.Mayer, in his paper, claimed that he was the first to evaluate the mechanical equivalent, and thus claiming priority to the importent conservation law, the first law of thermodynamics and the conservation of energy.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1847 P.
First Edition
Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1854. Conemp. hcalf. 5 raised bands, gilt spine and gilt lettering to spine. A few scratches to spine. Light wear to spine ends. A small nick to top of spine. Small stamp on verso of first -and general- titlepage and small stamps to verso of plates. In: "Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg. von J.C. Poggendorff", Ergänzungsband IV. VIII,632 pp. and 2 folded engraved plates. Joule's paper: pp. 601-632. Internally celan and fine. First German edition of one of the most importent papers in 1900th century physics, and the culmination of Joule's work. The offered paper is a translation of Joule's great memoir "On the Mechanical equivalent of Heat", published 1850, and one of the founding papers of the principle of "The conservation of energy", - Joule here gave the experimental proof of the conservation law."Joule was not the first to determine the mechanical equivalent of heat. Rumford had attempted it but had come out with a value that was far too high. Mayer produced a fairly good value before Joule did, but it was Joule who was most accurate (up to his time), who backed up his figure with a large variety of careful experimental data, and who /with Thomson's help) forced the view on the world of science. He therefore gets the credit, and in his honour a unit of work, equal to 10,000,000 ergs, is called the Joule."(Asimov). - Dibner, Heralds of Science No.158 (the 1843 paper).Joule's first measurement of the mechanical equivalent of heat was published.in 1843. It was made by comparing the heat generated by the current of a magnetoelectric machine with the excess of work which was used in turning the machine when the circuit was closed above that used when it was open.In the following papers in which the mechanical equivalent was measured in different ways we find the same elaborate description of the experiments and a brief statement of the final results. This is particularly true of the GREAT MEMOIR OF 1850 IN WHICH JOULE'S WORK CULMINATED. (Magie "Source Book in Physics" p. 203).The volume contains further STOKES, G.G.: "Ueber die Veränderung der Brechbarkeit des Lichts." Pp. 177-345 in first German edition.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. **Mechanical Equivalent of Heat // Heat is a Form of Energy** JOULE, James Prescott (1818-1889). "On the calorific effects of magneto-electricity, and on the mechanical value of heat," in: London, Edinburgh and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science, 3rd series, 1843, volume 23. 215mm, viii, 552pp in the full volume, with the Joule papers on pp. 263-276, 347-355, and 435-455 (complete). Beautifully rebound in calf-backed marbled boards, with raised bands, and a spine label with a typeface very close to the original. The boards have been slightly antiqued to give the whole production the sense of being in the original binding. Superior workmanship. [++] At the end of the third and final paper, we find the following, in a "P.S." to the paper: "We shall be obliged, after all, to admit that Count Rumford was right in attributing the heat evolved by boring cannon to friction, and not (in any considerable degree) to any change in the capacity of the metal. I have myself proved experimentally that heat is forced by the passage of water through narrow tubes. My apparatus consisted of a piston perforated by a number of small holes, working in a cylindrical glass jar containing about 7 lbs. of water. I thus obtained one degree of heat per lb. of water from a mechanical force capable of raising about 770 lbs. to the height of one foot, a result which will be allowed to be very strongly confirmatory of our previous deductions. I shall lose no time in repeating and extending these experiments, being satisfied that the grand agents of nature are, by the Creator's fiat, indestructible', and that wherever mechanical force is expended, an exact equivalent of heat is always obtained."--JP Joule, 1843, p 442 of the volume offered here. [++] See: "Experimental proof of the mechanical equivalent of heat for physical phenomena" (Printing and the Mind of Man p. 196); Dibner, Heralds of Science 158. [++] ".Joule made a systematic study of all the thermal effects accompanying the production and passage of the current in a voltaic circuit. From this study, completed by January 1843, he obtained a clear conception of an equivalence between each type of heat production and a corresponding chemical transformation or resistance to the passage of the current. Regarding the nature of heat, no conclusion could be derived from the phenomena of the voltaic circuit: voltaic electricity was "a grand agent for carrying, arranging and converting chemical heat"; but this heat could either be some substance simply displaced and redistributed by the current, or arise from modifications of atomic motions inseparable from the flow of the current. Joule saw the possibility of settling this last question and at the same time of subjecting the equivalence idea to a crucial testby extending the investigation to currents not produced by chemical change but induced by direct mechanical effect. This brilliant inference led him to the next set of experiments, among the most extraordinary ever conceived in physics. He enclosed the revolving armature of an electromagnetic engine in a cylindrical container filled with a known amount of water and rotated the whole apparatus during a given time between the poles of the fixed electromagnet, ascertaining the small change of temperature of the water; the heat produced in this way could only be dynamical in origin. Moreover, by studying the heating effects of the induced current, to which a voltaic one was added or subtracted, he established, by a remarkably rigorous argument, the strict equivalence of the heat produced on revolving the coil and the mechanical work spent in the operation. He thus obtained a first determination of the coefficient of equivalence (1843)."--Complete DSB online [++] "James Joule.[in this paper] publishes his first demonstration of the mechanical equivalent of heat."--Parkinson, Breakthroughs, p. 320.
