Wärmelehre: autograph notebook
Manuscripts
These notes, which are in German, were written by Loránd Eötvös most probably while he was attending the University of Heidelberg. In the notebook Eötvös includes notes regarding: heat; themodynamics; comparisons of water, alcohol and mercury thermometers; linear expansion of glass and various metals from 0 to 100 degrees Celsius; and the thermal expansion of solids and gases. It is illustrated with pen-and-ink sketches of laboratory apparatus and a few diagrams. The text of the last page breaks off in the middle of a sentence suggesting that Eötvös continued his notes in another notebook.
