Caloric theory: beginning of its end

2020
Abstract The early 1800s provided new evidence challenging the caloric theory when Rumford bored a cannon and boiled water, Davy melted ice by using friction, and Young made the connection between light and radiant heat. Mayer and Joule then succeeded in killing caloric by simply ignoring it and instead embracing work–heat equivalence.

Controversies on the caloric response:From Bárány's Theory to Studies in Microgravity

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1990
Two objections against Robert Bárány's scientific contributions are reviewed. Firstly the Medical Faculty in Vienna raised the question as to whether Bárány really could be credited with the initial discovery of the caloric reaction in man and whether therefore it was justified to have awarded him the Nobel Prize in 1914.

Calorimetry and the Caloric Theory of Heat, the Measurement of Heat

2019
Joseph Black distinguished between the quantity of heat in a body and its intensity, or temperature, which was introduced in Chap. 1. This chapter introduces calorimetry, the measurement of the quantity of heat, and the contemporary theory of heat, the caloric theory of heat.

A philosophical study of the transition from the caloric theory of heat to thermodynamics: Resisting the pessimistic meta-induction

Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 1994
Abstract I began this study with Laudan's argument from the pessimistic induction and I promised to show that the caloric theory of heat cannot be used to support the premisses of the meta-induction on past scientific theories. I tried to show that the laws of experimental calorimetry, adiabatic change and Carnot's theory of the motive power of heat ...

Rumford’s Experimental Challenge to Caloric Theory: “Big Science” 18th-Century Style with Important Results for Chemistry and Physics

Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The cannon boring experiment of Count Rumford, where eight kilograms of water were boiled by metal on metal friction, is investigated.

[2 reactions in caloric stimulation of the labyrinth. Is Bárány's theory disproven?].

Laryngologie, Rhinologie, Otologie, 1985
Caloric nystagmus in weightless condition is completely inverse to Bárány's nystagmus in optimum downward position. Therefore, another stimulation must prevail over the Bárány effect in the optimum up position which is observed only in weightless condition. The intensity of the two reactions is very different.
