A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism
- J. Maxwell
- Materials Science
- Nature
IN his deservedly celebrated treatise on “Sound,” the late Sir John Herschel felt himself justified in saying, “It is vain to conceal the melancholy truth. We are fast dropping behind. In Mathematics… Expand
VII. On stresses in rarified gases arising from inequalities of temperature
- J. Maxwell
- Materials Science
- Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society…
1. In this paper I have followed the method given in my paper “On the Dynamical Theory of Gases” (Phil. Trans., 1867, p. 49). I have shown that when inequalities of temperature exist in a gas, the… Expand
III. On stresses in rarefied gases arising from inequalities of temperature
- J. Maxwell
- Physics
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London
1. In this paper I have followed the method given in my paper “On the Dynamical Theory of Gases” (Phil. Trans., 1867, p. 49). I have shown that when inequalities of temperature exist in a gas, the… Expand
A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field
- J. Maxwell
- Physics
- Nature
HE proposed Theory seeks for the origin of electromagnetic effects in the medium surrounding the electric or magnetic bodies, and assumes that they act on each other not immediately at a distance,… Expand
A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field
- J. Maxwell
- Physics
This specification describes a novel apparatus and method for testing optical wave guides to determine the optical attenuation and to locate faults in the optical fiber. The light for test purposes… Expand
Theory of Heat
- J. Maxwell
- Physics
- 21 September 1970
THIS book is so well known, and has been of such good service to students, that it is scarcely necessary to do more than note the fact that a tenth edition of it has been issued. Only such… Expand
Illustrations of the Dynamical Theory of Gases
- J. Maxwell
- Physics
- 1 July 1860
In view of the current interest in the theory of gases proposed by Bernoulli (Selection 3), Joule, Kronig, Clausius (Selections 8 and 9) and others, a mathematical investigation of the laws of motion… Expand
IV. On the dynamical theory of gases
- J. Maxwell
- Engineering
- Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society…
Theories of the constitution of bodies suppose them either to be continuous and homogeneous, or to be composed of a finite number of distinct particles or molecules. In certain applications of… Expand
On the Dynamical Theory of Gases
- J. Maxwell
- Physics, Chemistry
The theory of transport processes in gases—such as diffusion, heat conduction, and viscosity—is developed on the basis of the assumption that the molecules behave like point-centres of force. The… Expand
