Conant and published by Harvard University Press in 1957 articles in Physics Today, such as “A Sketch for a History of Early Thermodynamics” by E. Roller in Volume 1 of Harvard Case Histories in Experimental Science edited by J.B. Vi Other useful sources of historical information are “The Early Development of the Concepts of Temperature and Heat: The Rise and Decline of the Caloric Theory” by D. The first volume was published in 1975, the remainder in 1976. Kestin and Volume 6, Irreversible Processes, also by J. Volume 5, The Second Law of Thermodynamics, by J. Volume 2, Applications of Energy, 19th Century, by R. Of particular interest are: Volume 1, Energy: Historical Development of the Concept, by R. Many of the important papers have been reproduced, with some commentary, in a series of books entitled “Benchmark Papers on Energy” distributed by Halsted Press, a division of John Wiley and Sons, N.Y. Historical information is usually best gotten from reading the original literature. Asimov, published by Doubleday & Co., (N.Y., 1972), and, to a lesser extent, Nobel Prize Winners in Physics 1901-1951, by N.H.

Scribners, New York, has been especially useful for obtaining biographical and, to some extent, historical information. The multivolume Dictionary of Scientific Biography, edited by Charles C. Over the years, I have tried to enrich my lectures by including historical information on the significant developments in thermodynamics, and biographical sketches of the people involved. Should you find errors in any of the solutions, please bring them to my attention. Preface This manual contains more or less complete solutions for every problem in the book.
