The Scientific Papers of James Prescott Joule

Abstract: Sir James Prescott Joule (1818–1889) became one of the most significant physicists of the nineteenth century, although his original interest in science was as a hobby and for practical business purposes. The son of a brewer, he began studying heat while investigating how to increase the efficiency of electric motors. His discovery of the relationship between heat and energy contributed to the discovery of the conservation of energy and the first law of thermodynamics. Volume 1 of Joule's scientific papers was … Show more

“…In effect, a total conversion 6 was, and it is, an ideal idea within the formulation of the first law of thermodynamics and its correlation with conceptualization of the more general energy conservation law 7 . That was mathematically confirmed later, mainly thanks to results of James Prescott Joule (1818-1889) (Fox 1969;Joule 1965Joule , 277-281, 1847, Rudolf Clausius (1822-1888 and William Thomson (1824Thomson ( -1907 (Clausius 1850(Clausius , 1865a(Clausius ,b, 1867(Clausius , 1872; (Thomson 1848(Thomson , 1851a.

“…James Prescott Joule (1818-1889) caracterizou-se por ter realizado várias contribuições importantes para a termodinâmica, a principal delas um minucioso e perseverante trabalho experimental para determinar o equivalente mecânico do calor onde, ao longo de 35 anos, aperfeiçoou métodos experimentais a fim de conseguir crescente precisão, como se observa em seus sucessivos trabalhos [25,26,29]. Chegou a estudar com Dalton por dois anos, em um grupo privado de estudantes, filhos de famílias que professavam a doutrina quacre [27], de quem recebeu grande influência, mas foi um cientista "amador" filho de proprietário de uma cervejaria [21].…”

“…Os valores do equivalente mecânico obtidos por Joule foram: 424,77 kgf.m/kcal, utilizandó agua, 435,36 kgf.m/kcal, mediante o resfriamento do ar por rarefação e 451,66 kgf.m/kcal, utilizando um experimento eletro-magnético [26]. Em publicações posteriores, forneceu os valores de 424 kgf.m/kcal, em 1850, com um experimento de atrito em fluidos, e 429,4 kgf.m/kcal, em 1867, com um experimento de dissipação do calor em uma resistência elétrica percorrida por corrente elétrica [25]. Osúltimos valores do equivalente mecânico fornecidos por Joule [25] foram bem próximos de 424 kgf.m/kcal (= 772,55 lbf.pé/BTU).…”
