The Caloric Theory of S. L. Metcalfe
The British Journal for the History of Science, 1984 Samuel Lytler Metcalfe (1798–1856) was an American chemist and physician who wrote a voluminous work, Caloric Its Mechanical Chemical and Vital Agencies in the Phenomena of Nature (2 vols., London, 1843); attempting to account for all natural phenomena in terms of caloric.

Lavoisier and the Caloric Theory
The British Journal for the History of Science, 1972 Professional historians of science generally recognize the importance of Lavoisier's theory of heat. However, it commonly receives scant attention in the historical treatment of his chemical theories except perhaps as an example illustrating his conservatism and giving the impression that the caloric theory, although perhaps important in the ...

Caloric theory: beginning of its end
, 2020 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.

A generalized presentation of multi-caloric effects based on exterior derivative theory and its applications [PDF]
Communications in Theoretical PhysicsThe emerging concept of multi-caloric effects, introduced in 2010, entails the application of multiple interplay fields to a thermodynamic system. While multi-caloric effects are the main focus of experimental endeavors, theoretical considerations fall ...

The British Journal for the History of Science, 1970 Research on thermal “black-body” radiation played an essential role in the origin of the quantum theory at the beginning of the twentieth century. This is a well-known fact, but historians of science up to now have not generally recognized that studies of radiant heat were also important in an earlier episode in the development of modern physics: the ...

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.
