181545113Paris Crochard 1815. Contemp. hcalf. Spine gilt. Slightly rubbed. A few scratches to binding. Wear to top of spine. Small stamps on verso of titlepage.In: "Annales de Chimie ou Recueil de Mémoires concernant la Chemie" Tome 94. 336 pp. a. 1 plate the plate in facs. not belonging to Ampere's paper. Ampere's paper: pp. Some scattered brownspots. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of Amperes second paper on molecular physics."The noumenal aspect of chemistry fascinated Ampère. Although his derivation of Avogadro’s law came three years after Avogadro had enunciated it the law is known today in France as the Avogadro-Ampère law. This was Ampère’s first excursion into molecular physics and was followed almost immediately by a second. In 1815 he published a paper demonstrating the relation between Mariotte’s Boyle’s law and volumes and pressures of gases at the same temperature. The paper is of some interest as a pioneer effort along with Laplac’s great papers on capillarity in the application of Mathematical analysis to the molecular realm."DSB.The volume contains 3 importent papers by Jean-Baptiste Biot on polarisation of light and Berzelius "Experiences pour déterminer les proportions définies dans lequelles les élémens de la nature organique sont combinés" "Suite." 1-2 pp. 5-33 pp. 170-190 a. pp. 296-232 </em> unknown
18942508Pittsburgh 1894. Very good. Three volumes 99 90 and 102 leaves printed rectos only. Oblong octavo. Contemporary half brown cloth and marbled paper-covered boards. Moderate edge wear some creasing and scuffing to covers. Occasional dust-soiling to text. An informative trio of daily report books recording work performed by a field worker of the West Penn Gas Company in the last decade of the 19th century. Each leaf is a separate partially-printed daily report filled out by Samuel McCutcheon from June 1 1892 to March 24 1894. McCutcheon records the numbers and names of wells the "estimated amount of water blown off" the "location of line drip" and the "estimated amount of water blown off" of each line drip. McCutcheon's maintenance records provide unique insight into the functionality of dozens of gas wells near Pittsburgh belonging to the West Penn Gas Company during the peak of the Pennsylvania oil boom. unknown
188042765London Harrison and Sons 1880. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" Year 1879 Vol. 171 - Part II. Pp. 231-256. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of a major paper on Gas Dynamics creating a whole new science. One of Maxwell's major investigations was on the kinetic theory of gases. Originating with Daniel Bernoulli this theory was advanced by the successive labours of John Herapath John James Waterston James Joule and particularly Rudolf Clausius to such an extent as to put its general accuracy beyond a doubt; but it received enormous development from Maxwell who in this field appeared as an experimenter on the laws of gaseous friction as well as a mathematician."Maxwell's last major paper on any subject was "On Stresses in Rarified Gases arising from Inequalities of Temperature." Between 1873 and 1876 the scientific world had been stirred by William Crooke's experiments with the radiometer the well-known device composed of a partuially evacuated chamber containing a paddle wheel with vanes blackened on one side and silvered on the other which spins rapidly when radiant heat impinges on it.Reynolds called this new effect "thermal transpiration". Maxwell gave a simple qualitative explanation in his report and in an appendix added to his own paper in May 1879 he developed a semiempirical theory accounting for it and for the radiometer effect.Maxwell's paper created the science of rarified gas dynamics. His formulas for stress and heat flux in the body of the gas were contributions of permanent value while his investigations of surface effects started a vast body of research extending to the present day.One other contribution of great beauty contained in notes added to the papwer in May and June 1879 was an application of the methods of spherical harmonic analysis to gas theory."DSB IX p. 224-25. </em> unknown
