Description

The Laws of Gases: Memoirs by Robert Boyle and E.H. Amagat (1899) is a book that compiles the scientific works of two renowned physicists, Robert Boyle and E.H. Amagat. The book was edited by Carl Barus and was first published in 1899. The book is divided into two parts, each containing the scientific contributions of Boyle and Amagat. The first part features the works of Robert Boyle, who is known for his research on the properties of gases. Boyle's contributions to the field of physics include the famous Boyle's Law, which describes the relationship between the volume and pressure of a gas. His other works include studies on the behavior of gases at different temperatures and pressures.The second part of the book features the works of E.H. Amagat, a French physicist who made significant contributions to the study of gases. Amagat's research focused on the measurement of the properties of gases, including their density, pressure, and temperature. His work led to the development of the amagat unit, which is used to measure the density of gases.Overall, The Laws of Gases: Memoirs by Robert Boyle and E.H. Amagat (1899) is a comprehensive collection of the scientific works of two influential physicists. The book provides valuable insights into the study of gases and is a must-read for anyone interested in the field of physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
