A Study of Calorimetric Methods: Together with a Critical Study of the Peroxide Calorimeter (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of Calorimetric Methods: Together With a Critical Study of the Peroxide Calorimeter
Very little was done in this line until 1845, when the two French investigators, Favre and Silbermann, constructed the first oxygen calorimeter. Their researches extended over a very large territory and many of the heat values obtained by them are accepted today. Their work, however, was mostly on the elementary substances.(2)
