Branch of Science Physicists Nationality American ... English Rumford, Benjamin Thompson (1753-1814) American-British physicist and scoundrel who, while drilling out cannons in the Munich munitions works, noticed that the canon became hot as long as the friction of boring continued. Furthermore, Rumford observed, the amount of heat released would be sufficient to completely melt the canon if it could be returned to the metal. Since more heat was being released than could have been originally contained in the metal, these observations were an outright contradiction to the caloric theory Rumford was therefore led to conclude that it was the mechanical process of boring which was producing the heat Rumford even calculated a value of the mechanical equivalent of heat which, however, was not nearly as accurate as the one reported later by Joule Nonetheless, despite the solidity of his results, physicists of his day ignored his work as unconvincing, clinging instead to the caloric theory of heat as a fluid. It is rather surprising, given the great interest in the unity of Nature, that the first quantitative verification of the convertibility of two apparently different physical entities was completely ignored by the entire community. Some degree of hesitancy to abandon the conventional caloric theory would be understandable, but disregarding such cogent and basic results as those produced by Rumford's investigations is difficult to understand. It was only a matter of time, however, until Rumford's experiments were repeated and improved by others, eventually leading to the acceptance of the equivalence of

Back History of Thermodynamics The history of thermodynamics can be seen to be one of the most interesting and dramatic episodes to be found. Starting in an investigation of purely practical problems of engineering economics, it has grown into a body of thought that has dramatically affected our lives today. Throughout its development it has had to struggle with many misconceptions, from our concepts of the nature of heat; to our concept of matter. This particular work is going to focus on the history of thermodynamics (and its key pioneers), heat transfer, and Fluid Mechanics. Through a historical timeline this subject of thermodynamics will be better understood. Important People: Count Rumford (Benjamin Thompson) and Sir Humphrey Davy: Count Rumford is best known for two things. The first is the Rumford fireplace (which has little to do with his work in thermodynamics), and the second is his famous canon boring experiments (1798). During these experiments Rumford found that the heat that was released during the boring process was enough to melt the metal that they were boring. This led Rumford to believe that the caloric theory for heat was incorrect. He even calculated a unit of mechanical heat energy; however, it wasn’t as accurate as the Joule. In 1799 Sir Humphrey Davy, better known for his work in chemistry, noted that work could be converted into heat. This was accomplished by his “ice rubbing experiments” Sadi Carnot: (French engineer and physicist) developed the processes of the first steam engine. This was known as the Carnot cycle. In 1824, Carnot published his thesis “Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire” in it, Carnot introduces a new concept of a cycle, as well as, discusses the possibility of a reversible cycle. Twenty four years later a man named Lord Kelvin (William Thomson) defined an absolute temperature scale. He did this based off of Sadi Carnot’s “Carnot Cycle”.

16. Count Rumford On Heat Heat is a Form of Motion An Experiment in Boring Cannon Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) Philosophical Transactions (vol. 88), 1798 http://www.chemteam.info/Chem-History/Rumford-1798.html

Heat is a Form of Motion: An Experiment in Boring Cannon Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) Philosophical Transactions (vol. 88), 1798 It frequently happens that in the ordinary affairs and occupations of life opportunities present themselves of contemplation some of the most curious operations of nature; and very interesting philosophical experiments might often be made, almost without trouble or expense, by means of machinery contrived for the mere mechanical purposes of the arts and manufactures. I have frequently had occasion to make this observation, and am persuaded that a habit of keeping the eyes open to everything that is going on in the ordinary course of the business of life has oftener led, as it were by accident, or in the playful excursions of the imagination, put into action by contemplating the most common appearance, than all the more intense meditation of philosophers, in the hours expressly set apart for study. It was by accident that I was led to make the experiments of which I am to give an account; and, though they are not perhaps of sufficient importance to merit so formal an introduction, I cannot help flattering myself that they will be thought curious in several respects, and worthy of the honor of being made known to the Royal Society. Being engaged, lately, in superintending the boring of cannon, in the workshops of the military arsenal at Munich, I was struck with the very considerable degree of heat which a brass gun acquires, in a short time, in being bored; and with the still more intense heat ( much greater than that of boiling water, as I found by experiment) of the metallic chips separated from it by the borer.
