-
A.
Théorie analytique de la chaleur
Théorie analytique de la chaleur is Joseph Fourier’s foundational 1822 treatise that introduced Fourier series and laid the mathematical groundwork for the modern theory of heat conduction and harmonic analysis.
-
B.
On the Moving Force of Heat
"On the Moving Force of Heat" is Rudolf Clausius’s foundational 1850 paper that helped establish the second law of thermodynamics and introduced key concepts leading to the modern understanding of entropy.
-
C.
Fourier's law of heat conduction
Fourier's law of heat conduction is a fundamental physical principle that relates heat flux within a material to the negative gradient of temperature, forming the basis of classical heat transfer theory.
-
D.
Illustrations of the Dynamical Theory of Gases
Illustrations of the Dynamical Theory of Gases is a foundational 1860 scientific paper by James Clerk Maxwell that introduced key ideas of kinetic theory and the statistical behavior of gas molecules.
-
E.
The Dynamical Theory of Sound
The Dynamical Theory of Sound is a foundational treatise by mathematician and physicist Horace Lamb that rigorously develops the mathematical principles underlying acoustics and wave propagation.
