Contact seller5-star seller1st Edition. FIRST EDITION, FULL VOLUME 152, PART II OF THE 1862 PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS COMPLETE WITH A NUMBER OF NOTABLE PAPERS. Handsomely illustrated with 48 plates. Fleeming Jenkin was a professor of engineering at Edinburgh as well as an imaginative electrician and cable engineer of note. Present here is Jenkin's import…ant paper on the electrical theory of submarine cables in undersea telecommunications. In it, Jenkin makes "a determination. of the specific inductive capacity of gutta-percha. This was the very first true measurement of the specific inductive capacity of a dielectric which had been made after the discovery by Faraday of the existence of the property, and his primitive measurement of it. At the time when Jenkin made his measurements the existence of specific inductive capacity was either unknown, or ignored, or denied, by almost all the scientific authorities of the day" (Memoir of Fleeming Jenkin). Note that Part II of this paper appeared in a different volume and we offer it separately. Also included: Joule on the heating effects of fluids in motion and the results of experiments "on the difference between the temperatures of an elastic fluid on the high-and-low pressure sides of a porous plug through which it was transmitted. Joule is well known for his discovery of Joule's Law, the connection between heat and mechanical work, where heat is a form of energy. "From Joule's extensive and reliable data [presented in this paper] Thomson derived an empirical law [stating] that the cooling effect per unit pressure difference varie[s] as the inverse square of the absolute temperature" (Carwell, 202). Also included: a paper by Stokes investigating the spark spectra of metals, spectra of the electric arc, form and effects of the electrodes; Cayley on analytical geometry; Hopkins mathematical theory of the motions of glaciers; Robinson on the spectrum of the electric light given by a compound body is not the superposed spectra of its elements.

Clean and fine. First appearance of this highly importent paper in the development of thermodynamics, describing the experiments leading to the discovery of… the cooling effect when a gas is allowed to expand freely. This is the founding theory, later used in refrigeration."The only substantial contribution to thermodynamics to which the joint names of Joule and Thomson are attached belongs to an idea conceived by Thomson, who saw the possibility of analyzing the deviations of gas properties from the ideal behavior. In particular a non-ideal gas, made to expand slowly through a porous plug so as to approximate a specified mathematical condition - constant enthalpy), would in general undergo cooling (essentially a transformation of atomic motion into work spent against the interatomic attractions).But the appliocation of the Joule-Thomson effect to technology of refrigeration belongs to a later stage in the development of thermodynamics."(DSB VII, p. 182).The Joule-Thomson effect or Joule-Kelvin effect describes the increase or decrease in the temperature of a real gas (as differentiated from an ideal gas) or a liquid when allowed to expand freely through a valve or other throttling device while kept insulated so that no heat is transferred to or from the fluid, and no external mechanical work is extracted from the fluid. The Joule-Thomson effect is an isenthalpic process, meaning that the enthalpy of the fluid is constant (i.e., does not change) during the process. It is named for James Prescott Joule and William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin who established the effect in 1852, following earlier work by Joule on Joule expansion in which a gas expands at constant internal energy. The Joule-Thomson effect is sometimes referred to as the Joule-Kelvin effect. Engineers often refer to it as simply the J-T effect.

They showed that a gas expanding into vacuum without addition of external work undergo a change in temperature, in spite of the theoretical speculations. The temperature change occurs due to the internal work required to overcome the attractive forces between molecules."The only substantial contribution to thermodnamics to which the joint names of Joule and Thomson, are attached belongs to an idea conceived by Thomson, who saw the possibility of analyzing the deviations of gas properties from the ideal behavior. In particular, a non-ideal gas, made to expand slowly through a porous plug (so as to approximate a specified mathematical condition?constant enthalpy), would in general undergo a cooling (essentially a transformation of atomic motion into work spent against the interatomic attractions). For the delicate test of this effect Thomson required Joule?s unsurpassed skill (1852). But the application of the Joule- Thomson effect to the technology of refrigeration belongs to a later stage in the development of thermodynamics."(DSB).Peter Guthrie Tait (1831 - 1901) was a Scottish mathematical physicist, best known for the seminal energy physics textbook Treatise on Natural Philosophy, which he co-wrote with Kelvin, and his early investigations into knot theory, which contributed to the eventual formation of topology as a mathematical discipline. His name is known in graph theory mainly for Tait's conjecture. (His name on the first titlepage).Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1852 C.
