kinetic theory of heat การใช้

• Joule perceived the relationship between his discoveries and the kinetic theory of heat.
• In the middle of the eighteenth century Mikhail Lomonosov, a Russian scientist, postulated his corpusculo-kinetic theory of heat, which rejected the idea of a caloric.
• But Einstein's predictions were finally confirmed in a series of experiments carried out by Chaudesaigues in 1908 and Perrin in 1909 . The confirmation of Einstein's theory constituted empirical progress for the kinetic theory of heat.
• Joule was proposing a kinetic theory of heat ( he believed it to be a form of rotational, rather than translational, kinetic energy ), and this required a conceptual leap : if heat was a form of molecular motion, why didn't the motion of the molecules gradually die out?
