Abstract:

On 19 September 1798, there arrived in London from Munich a 45-year-old, tall, blueeyed, handsome, American-born, opportunistic man of action. A former soldier and statesman, he was, by all accounts, ruthless and arrogant, callously cunning and devious, an unprincipled spy and a calculating womanizer; but he was also a philanthropist, a brilliantly effective social reformer, an ingenious inventor and an exceptionally innovative scientist. His name was Benjamin Thompson, better known as Count von Rumford of the Holy Roman Empire. He would found the Royal Institution.

Abstract:

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, a handful of high-society women turned the Royal Institution's chemistry and geology lectures into the success story of the Season. The Institution's distinguished patronesses included Viscountess Palmerston, Lady Bernard and Lady Hippisley, all of whom had previous experience at managing scientific or philanthropic projects. They managed workhouses according to a scientific method devised by Count Rumford now known as ‘scientific philanthropy’ and experimented with mineralogical specimens in laboratories on their country estates.

Abstract:

This chapter describes how the soup kitchen, based on an Elizabethan model but subsequently scaled up to meet the vast needs of a new urban underclass, became a standardized technology of relief by the middle of the nineteenth century. It returns to Alexis Soyer as well as a man called Count Rumford, who brought the soup kitchen into the modern age. Count Rumford's commitment to everyday reform generated a new word, “rumfordizing,” which meant improving and refining something in accordance with natural laws. In the 1790s he started to rumfordize the soup kitchen. With Rumford's help, the soup

Abstract:

The American-born Sir Benjamin Thompson, otherwise known as Count Rumford of the Holy Roman Empire, was at one time the ‘Supremo’ of Munich in Bavaria, where he was both a successful social reformer, an incisive scientist and the creator of the English Garden in that city. Disappointed when he came to London in 1798, when King George IV refused to accept him as the Bavarian Ambassador to the Court of St. James, he decided to found the Royal Institution of Great Britain. He appointed two brilliant Englishmen—Humphry Davy and Thomas Young (of Milverton, Somerset), now regarded as the last person

Abstract:

Abstract Caloric—The caloric theory, established in the eighteenth century, supplanted that of phlogiston for explaining many aspects of heat and combustion phenomena. Caloric is a weightless, conservative fluid, which builds up in hot materials. Its particles repel each other, but are attracted by matter. Around 1790, Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, raised doubts about the theory, by showing that caloric can be created. The theory was abandoned after 1824. By using caloric conservation, Sadi Carnot showed that every reversible engine working between two reservoirs at the same temperatures h

Abstract This history begins in the 1700s with controversy over the nature of heat, and it follows the evolution of the study of heat into the exciting discipline of heat transfer. The contributions of the natural philosophers, astronomers, and physicists of the past have established a foundation for the discipline which is critical to technological advancement in such areas as energy generation, microelectronics, air breathing engines and thermal protection systems. The development of the thermometer in 1709 led to the studies of numerous individuals, including some colorful personalities. Am
