Heat Engines and the Caloric Theory of Heat
This chapter will present an alternative route to the thermodynamics of simple fluids at a slightly higher mathematical level, allowing for a generalization of the subject of thermodynamics of uniform fluids. The most important difference to the previous development has to do with what we assume to know about the nature of heat.

Theory of giant-caloric effects in multiferroic materials
A generalized thermodynamic theory of giant-caloric effects in coupled multiferroic solids is introduced. The generalized theory allows analytical derivation of any caloric effect in solids displaying any type of cross coupling. In the particular cases of the non-coupled ferroic materials, the theory reproduces the well-known formulae describing ...

Abstract The works of Lazare and Sadi Carnots are reviewed emphasizing their contribution to the caloric theory of heat, which is consequently analyzed in terms of an alternative thermodynamic approach. In the framework of the caloric theory the elementary derivation of the efficiency of real heat engines, ηK=1−tr(T 2/T 1), is given which is a direct ...

Controversies on the caloric response. From Bárány's theory to studies in microgravity.
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.
