...of Heat" (Trans. RS Edin., xx., p. 265 (read March 17, 1851) has stated the axiom as follows :— " It is impossible, by means of inanimate material agency,...cooling it below the temperature of the coldest of surrounding objects." Without some further restriction this axiom cannot be considered as true, for...

...system of reasoning lead to the second law of thermodynamies, which is thus slated by Themson ;—" It is impossible, by means of inanimate material agency,...temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects." Themson was led by it to the diseovery that the absolute zero of temperature, or the point at which...

...and the restoration of it to its primitive condition. They are necessary consequences of the axiom, " It is impossible, by means of inanimate material agency,...temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects." (Dynamical Theory of Heat [Art. XLVIII. above], § 12.) * From the Proceedings of the Royal Society...

...proved. ;:: r 12. The demonstration of the second proposition is founded on the following axiom:— It is impossible, by means of inanimate material agency,...temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects*. 13. To demonstrate the second proposition, let A and B be two thermo-dynamic engines, of which B satisfies...

...the states of relative rest or motion of the bodies between which heat passes. The axiom of Thomson, "It is impossible, by means of inanimate material...cooling it below the temperature of the coldest of surrounding objects," is obnoxious to the same criticism; and, as I have stated elsewhere,* these should...

...follows directly from the principle. Sir William Thomson states the denial thus.—It is impassible by means of inanimate material agency to derive mechanical effect from any portion of matter by cooling it Itelow the temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects. (For fuller information on this subject...

...unaided by any external agency, to convey heat from one body to another body at a higher temperature. (V) It is impossible, by means of inanimate material agency,...temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects. While these statements give the nature of the law very clearly, they do not of course prove it ; and...

Thomson gives it a slightly different form :— It is impossible, by means of inanimate...temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects. By comparing together these statements, the student will be able to make himself master of the fact...
