...the way, while remaining constant in amount. In 1851 the same principle was formulated by Lord Kelvin in the following terms : " It is impossible, by means...temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects."* This is equivalent to the following statement : It is impossible to obtain work by using up the heat... | |

...convey heat from one body to another at a higher temperature." W. Thomson, in 1851, employed the axiom, "it is impossible, by means of inanimate material...temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects." But he was careful to supplement this by further statements of an extremely guarded character. And... | |
