On The Heat Of Vapors And On Astronomical Refractions (1840)

By John William Lubbock

Book Overview

On The Heat Of Vapors And On Astronomical Refractions is a scientific treatise written by John William Lubbock in 1840. The book is divided into two parts, each dealing with a different topic. The first part focuses on the nature of heat and its relationship with the process of vaporization. Lubbock presents his research on the heat of vapors and the laws governing their behavior. He also discusses the relationship between the temperature and pressure of a gas and how it affects the process of vaporization.The second part of the book deals with the phenomenon of astronomical refraction. Lubbock explains the concept of refraction and how it affects the apparent position of celestial objects in the sky. He also discusses the effects of atmospheric conditions on refraction and how it can cause errors in astronomical observations.Overall, On The Heat Of Vapors And On Astronomical Refractions is a comprehensive scientific work that delves into two important topics in the field of physics. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of heat and vaporization, as well as the science of astronomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
