Abstract

Early principles of thermometry (Šesták J, Mareš JJ, From caloric to statmograph and polarography. J Therm Anal Calorm 88:3–9, 2007; Proks I, Evaluation of the knowledge of phase equilibria. In: Chvoj Z, Šesták J, Tříska A (eds) Kinetic phase diagrams: nonequilibrium phase transformations. Elsevier, Amsterdam, pp 1–60, 1991; Proks I, Celok je jednoduchší ako jeho časti (Whole is simpler than its parts). Publishing house of Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava (in Slovak), 2011) were already established by Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), whose idea was to make use of the volume changes of gases while observing the accompanying changes in thermal state of given bodies (air thermometer). The first liquid thermometer was likely constructed by J. Rey in 1631, and the description of the mercury thermometer is ascribed to Daniel G. Fahrenheit in 1724. The elaboration of the earliest ice calorimeter is credited to A.L. Lavoisier and Pierre S. Laplace around 1790 (Lavoisier LA, Laplace PS, Presentation of a new means for measuring heat as the first chapter of their book “Mémoire sur la Chaleur”, Paris, 1783; Thenard L, Treatise of chemistry, 6th edn. Crochard, Paris, 1836), coining the term from the Latin “calor” and the Greek “meter.” Sourced on the work by B. Telesio (1509–1588) (Telesio B, De Rerum Natura Iuxta Propria Principia, 1565), Jan A. Comenius (1592–1670) (Comenius JA, Physicae synopsis, Leipzig, 1633; Disquisitiones de Caloris et Frigoris Natura, Amsterdam, 1659) made use of the term “caloric” when describing the importance of concepts of cold and warm (Šesták J, Mareš JJ, From caloric to statmograph and polarography. J Therm Anal Calorm 88:3–9, 2007).
