Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the laws of thermodynamics, which explore the relationship between mechanical work and the transfer of heat. These two laws, the Principle of Equivalence and the Principle of Carnot, demonstrate that heat and mechanical work are interchangeable forms of energy. The… author delves into the implications of the laws and provides a thorough analysis of the ideas behind them. Throughout the book, the author focuses on the importance of closed cycles in the application of these principles. Understanding the laws of thermodynamics is crucial for comprehending the operation of heat engines and other devices that convert heat into work. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in thermodynamics and its applications in various scientific disciplines, from physics to engineering. Its insights provide a foundation for further exploration of the subject and its relevance to our understanding of energy transformations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. 1 vol. in-8 (21 x 13 cm), demi-basane verte de l'époque, dos lisse orné, quelques traces de frottement avec petites épidermures, intérieur en très bon état. Edition originale rare de ce mémoire novateur et fondamental, qui ne fit pas l'objet d'un tirage à Part. Il occupe… les pages 494-549 et il est illustré de 11 figures dans le texte. Jonas Ferdinand Gabriel Lippmann (1845-1921), physicien franco-luxembourgeois, s'adonna à la recherche scientifique. En 1872, il fut chargé de mission à Heidelberg et à Berlin. Et c'est à Heidelberg qu'il commença à étudier le rapport entre les phénomènes électriques et les phénomènes capillaires. En 1883, il fut nommé professeur titulaire de la chaire de calcul des probabilités et de physique mathématique à la Faculté des sciences de Paris, avant de devenir professeur de physique générale et directeur du laboratoire des recherches physiques, ainsi que membre de l'Académie des sciences. Il obtint le prix Nobel de physique en 1908 "pour sa méthode de reproduction des couleurs en photographie, basée sur le phénomène d'interférence". Lippmann est le premier à décrire, de façon détaillée, l'électrocapillarité, base de l'électromouillage, dans ce mémoire et dans sa thèse de doctorat ès sciences physiques (soutenue la même année. Il montre qu'il existe un lien intime entre les phénomènes électriques et les phénomènes capillaires, la tension superficielle au contact entre deux liquides variant avec la différence de potentiel électrique entre ceux-ci. Ces études conduisent Lippmann à construire un électromètre capillaire, instrument remarquable, utilisé dans les premiers électrocardiographes et très utilisé dans les recherches de physique ultérieures.

Hardcover. 8vo. 52 pages. Rebound? in quarter cloth black paper covered boards. A Hebrew grammar book discussing the roles of the letters. Ibn Ezra is considered the father of Hebrew grammar, even though he did not create anything new, he collected the conclusions of early grammarians and he wrote in Hebrew making Hebrew grammer… more accessable. This work, not the first grammer book written by Ibn Ezra, was the result of a student asking him to do so. This was orginally written between 1146-1147. This editon contains the commentary Mevin Safah by Gabriel Hirsch Lippmann, introduction in German and the novella Sha'ar Binyamin, published here for the first time, a work by Abraham Benjamin Hamburg (1770-1850), German talmudic scholar, whose disciples include Moses Sofer and Seligmann-Baer Bamberger. Signature of Leon Liebreich, late professor of liturgy at Hebrew Union College on top left margin of title page. Hebrew title page with facing German title page. Slight staining and foxing, with small waterstains to few pages. Lacking free rear endpaper. Closed tear on page 46, slightly affecting text. Text in Hebrew, in 'Rashi Script.'

The developed plate appeared to be a conventional negative by transmitted light, but when viewed at a suitable angle, by reflected light the image appeared as a brilliantly coloured positive."--(Coe, Brian (1978): Colour Photography, the first hundred years 1840-1940. [++] "(Lippmann) has accomplished a memorable experiment in photographing the solar spectrum. Lippmann presented. several photographs of the solar spectrum, with the colors fixed upon the sensitized plate with their exact shadings and brilliancy. The way so brilliantly opened by M.

Lippmann's prize represents the only time this prestigious award has been given for a photographic invention. However, the process proved difficult and impractical, exposures ran into minutes, the colours were difficult to view and almost impossible to copy."--"Lippmann Color Photography" on the Alternative Photography website.

Contact seller5-star seller1st Edition. FULL VOLUME, FIRST EDITION, OF LIPPMANN'S FIRST IN A SERIES OF SEMINAL PAPERS DESCRIBING HIS NOBEL PRIZE WINNING INVENTION OF "A METHOD OF REPRODUCING COLORS PHOTOGRAPHICALLY BASED ON THE PHENOMENON OF INTERFERENCE" Nobel Prize Committee). Lippmann's prize represents the only time this prestigious award has been giv…en for a photographic invention. Gabriel Jonas Lippmann was a French scientist and a professor of mathematical physics at the Sorbonne. In the paper offered here, Lippmann announced to the Academy of Sciences in Paris that he had succeeded in recording a true-color spectrum which was permanent. To do so, he employed the â??interference principle' - a method based on silver chloride's optical reaction to light waves). Lippmann's technique, known as â??interference photography' (also interferential photography or Lippmann photography), exploited the phenomenon of optical standing waves "by means of a mirror, and records these in a single-layer, panchromatic, ultra-fine grain, but black-and-white photographic emulsion" (Bjelkhagen, Lippmann Colour Photography, Alternative Photography). Lippmann used an ordinary plate camera to form an image on the photographic plate. The plate, however, was "loaded backwards with the emulsion side placed away from the lens and in optical contact with a mirror of mercury. The incident light waves interfere with their own reflections forming a standing wave pattern within the volume of the emulsion, with a periodic spacing of /(2n) that has to be resolved and recorded ( is the wavelength of light in air and n is the refractive index of the emulsion). The colour information is stored locally in this way. The larger the separation between the fringes, the longer is the wavelength of the recorded light. When the developed photograph is viewed in white light, different parts of the recorded image produce different colours. This is due to the separation of the recorded fringes. In this way Lippmann's photographs reproduce all the monochromatic components registered on them. Since wavelength is relative to colour the spectra corresponding to the original scene can be reproduced with formidable accuracy, unlike any other colour photograph" (ibid). Despite many difficulties with the process and the complexity of its use, Lippmann's methodology "remains, to this day, the only direct process of true colour photography known. It is a technique of exquisite beauty, both technically and aesthetically. The ultra- fine grain plates, essential to the medium, display the highest photographic resolution ever achieved. The encoding of colour, as a periodic volume diffraction grating of pure silver offers excellent and unrivaled archival longevity" (Bjelkhagen, Lippmann Colour Photography, Alternative Photography). ALSO INCLUDED: "Variations de conductibilite des substances isolantes" (pp. 90-93) By Edouard Branly. In 1890 Branly invented the first widely used signal detector for radio communication, later called the â??coherer'. (Note that we separately offer this paper in its original wraps). The paper included here, written just two months after his discovery, builds on the earlier paper and addresses the role of aerials (he did not use the term) in relation to the distance of transmission, together with the effect of a Faraday cage. The transmission distance was then on the order of 80 meters" (Dilhac, "Edouard Branly, the Coherer, and the Branly Effect," in IEEE Communications Magazine, September 2009, 20). CONDITION & DETAILS: Paris: Gauthier-Villars. 4 to. [10.5 x 8 inches]. Entire volume. Complete. Small library stamp on the rear of the title page slight ghosting at the spine from the removal of labels. Tightly and solidly bound in blue buckram. Bright and very clean inside and out. Near fine.
