...sound in atmospheric air. We found Laplace, by a special assumption, deducing from these velocities the ratio of the specific heat of air at constant pressure, to its specific heat at constant volume. We found Mayer calculating from this ratio the mechanical equivalent of heat ; finally, we found Mr.... | |
