Publisher's Synopsis
This volume presents a collection of seminal papers on the liquefaction and compression of gases, spanning the years 1805 to 1845. It features the groundbreaking work of Michael Faraday, one of the most influential scientists of the 19th century, alongside contributions from Thomas Northmore.
Faraday's papers detail his experimental investigations into the liquefaction of various gases, a pivotal achievement that advanced the understanding of matter's behavior under extreme conditions. Included are Northmore's earlier papers on gas compression, which laid important groundwork for later research.
This compilation offers valuable insights into the early development of thermodynamics and the experimental techniques used to manipulate gases. It is an essential resource for historians of science, chemists, and anyone interested in the evolution of our understanding of the physical world.
