Biographical Information Occupation, Sphere of Activity Sir William Thomson was Professor of Natural Philosophy at Glasgow University from , where he had previously studied. Spending some time in Paris, he met Joseph Liouville ( ) and others, and this was hugely influential on the path he went on to follow. He developed earlier work done by Sadi Carnot ( ), and James Prescott Joule ( ), on the two thermodynamic laws of equivalence and transformation, as well as producing the doctrine of available energy. His aquaintance with Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz ( ) from laid the basis for developing the mathematical theory of electrical oscillation. This in turn led to his work on wireless telegraphy. Further work in the field of electricity saw his participation in the laying of cable across the Atlantic and his advocation of the establishment of electrical standards. Thomson also applied mathematics to magnetism and was in favour of metrication. Relationships His father was James Thomson ( ), Professor of Mathematics at the Royal Institution, Belfast, and then at the University of Glasgow.

lord kelvin (william thomson) Lord Kelvin (William Thomson) was one of the founders of modern physics, probably the greatest applied scientist of the Victorian era. He became a student at Glasgow University when only 11 years old, and later became Professor of Natural Philosophy there - a position he held for 50 years. He was offered, and declined, the Cavendish Chair at Cambridge three times, but instead persuaded all the major scientists of the time to come to Glasgow. Kelvin had an excellent grasp of all aspects of physics: heat, light, sound, electricity. In his early days he performed experiments in electric lighting, thermodynamics and electrodynamics. He studied radioactivity, and encouraged the Curies in their experiments with radium. He was a very talented scientific insturment designer, and later became associated with James White's company (founded in 1849), when he realised many of the instruments he was devising in the laboratory could be adapted for manufacture. Early on, they made rangefinders for Professors Barr and Stroud (who had formed a company, Barr and Stroud, in response to an advert for an efficient rangefinder placed by the War Office in 1888). It was Kelvin's involvement in submarine telegraphy, and the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable in 1866, which made him internationally famous however, as well as his redesigned nautical compass and sounding equipment

SFKC Home Program Summary Drop the name Charles Darwin, and most people will say, “Oh, yes. The evolution man.” Mention Lord Kelvin or James Maxwell, however, and you’ll probably get a lot of blank stares. All three of these men were moving forces in their respective scientific fields and famous in their own time, but only Darwin’s name seems to have made a lasting impression, perhaps because his theories addressed the very personal concept of what is human. Kelvin (born William Thomson) and Maxwell were prodigies who flourished in the heady scientific and industrial atmosphere of Victorian England. They were instrumental in defining and shaping the study of physics, which back then wasn’t even called physics, but natural philosophy. Kelvin conceived the idea of thermodynamics, putting into mathematical terms the relationship between temperature and the efficiency of work produced by an engine; his mechanically based temperature scale is still commonly called the Kelvin scale. He also created the idea of absolute zero, the point at which a steam engine is completely efficient and below which one cannot go. Kelvin was also renowned in his time as an inventor, developing and patenting an improved nautical compass and designing numerous devices connected to the operation of the first trans-Atlantic telegraph cable.

The family moved to Glasgow, Scotland, in 1832. He matriculated at the university of Glasgow in 1834 and went on to Peterhouse, Cambridge where he helped to found Cambridge University Musical Society. As a Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Glasgow (1846-1899), he gathered around him enthusiastic students of mathematical physics and devoted himself to developing the new doctrine propounded by Sadie Carnot in 1824 and by James Prescott Joule in 1847 that work and heat were convertible. Between 1851 and 1854 he formulated the two great laws of thermodynamics - of equivalence and of transformation - in communications to the Royal Society of Edinburgh and subsequently rounded off his work on thermodynamics by enunciating the doctrine of available energy.

Tilings Lord Kelvin's Conjecture Disproved (I) by Stuart Levy, John Sullivan, Ken Brakke In 1887, Lord Kelvin posed the problem of finding the partition of space into equal volume cells minimizing the interface area. He suggested a partition which is basically the Voronoi cell for a BCC lattice. Robert Phelan and Denis Weaire of Trinity College, Dublin, have found a structure using two types of cells that has 0.3% less area than Kelvin's. This picture shows 9 opaque cells. How to make it: The Surface Evolver, a program written by Ken Brakke with support from The Geometry Center, was used to compute the areas involved.

Home Search/Archives Links About diego's weblog Main lord kelvin's predictions Re: yesterday's April fools post . Lord Kelvin also said "I can state flatly that heavier than air flying machines are impossible,", noted that "In science there is only physics; all the rest is stamp collecting," and that "Landing and moving around on the moon offer so many serious problems for human beings that it may take science another 200 years to lick them." (Notice the "lick them" reference, along with the "stamp collecting" reference in an earlier quote: clearly related). Kelvin also disregarded atomic theory and radioactivity, among other nuggets. His quote about "nothing new to be discovered in physics" dates from the end of the 19th century. Maybe predicting the future just wasn't his thing. But I read that his biographer put it as follows: "he spent the first half of his career being right and the second half being wrong."

98. Problemi Di Fisica Translate this page lord kelvin è famoso soprattutto per il suo lavoro sul calore e specialmente perla sua proposta della scala assoluta delle temperature. http://www.itiscastrovillari.it/fisica/kelvin.htm

Kelvin, Sir William Thomson Belfast (Irlanda), 26 giugno 1824 Netherhall (Largs - Scozia), 17 dicembre 1907 Fisico, autore di fondamentali scoperte di elettrologia e termodinamica, inventore di molti strumenti di misura, fu insignito nel 1892 del titolo di Pari, per cui è noto come Lord Kelvin. Nel campo della termodinamica, Thomson mostrò (1848) che era possibile costruire una scala assoluta della temperatura, non vincolata, cioè all'espansione di un materiale termometrico la cui scelta portava a scale non in perfetto accordo. La scala della temperatura assoluta è oggi chiamata anche Scala Kelvin (i gradi sono espressi in kelvin, il cui simbolo è K). Nonostante i suoi molti successi Kelvin è a volte dimenticato quando si elencano i grandi fisici di tutto il mondo. Ciò avviene in parte perché egli non ha mai nascosto intorno a sé un gruppo di discepoli e in parte perché non offriva resistenza ad accettare nuove idee come la relatività e la radioattività. Inoltre ad alcuni sembrava che non nutrisse un reale interesse nel discutere le loro idee ma solo nell'esporre le proprie. J.J. Thomson (nessuna parentela con W. Thomson ) centrò molto bene questo comportamento di Lord Kelvin con l'allusione alla teoria della radiazione del corpo nero: "in effetti egli (Lord Kelvin) rappresentò una notevole eccezione a quell'importantissimo principio della fisica, secondo il quale i buoni emettittori sono buoni assorbitori ". Kelvin morì nel 1907 e fu sepolto nell'Abbazia di Westminister vicino a Newton, onore che egli ampiamente meritò per i suoi molti contributi alla fisica.

William Thomson lord Kelvin Úvodní strana Fyzici William Thomson (pozdìji lord Kelvin) se narodil 26. èervna 1824 v Belfastu v Irsku v rodinì uèitele matematiky. Pozdìji se jeho otec stal profesorem matematiky na univerzitì v Glasgow. Na tuto univerzitu dal také svého tehdy desetiletého syna zapsat! V 16 letech pak Kelvin pøešel na Cambridge a ve 22 letech se stal v Glasgow profesorem. William Thomson se nejvíce vìnoval elektøinì a magnetismu. V oboru termodynamiky Thomson byl jeho spolupracovníkem J. P. Joule . William Thomson je považován za dovršitele mechaniky ve fyzice. Thomson vynalezl mnoho pøístrojù umožòujících telegrafii (zrcátkový galvanomìr a samoèinný zapisovaè telegrafických signálù). Thomsonùv elektromìr (Kelvinovy váhy) [ Thomsonùv elektromìr (Kelvinovy váhy) se skládají z rovinného kondenzátoru, tvoøeného dvìma kruhovými elektrodami, ze kterých je jedna pevná a izolovaná, druhá je mírnì pohyblivá, vodivì zavìšená na ramenì citlivých vah. Síla mezi elektrodami nabitého kondenzátoru se mìøí postupným pøidáváním závaží. Tìsnì po pøekroèení rovnováhy se pohyblivá elektroda pohne a pøeruší se obvod signální žárovky. Thomsonùv elektromìr (Kelvinovy váhy) Elektrické napìtí lze tímto pøístrojem mìøit pomocí neelektrických velièin: U = SQR((2F g d S)) SQR - druhá odmocnina výrazu v závorce Fg - gravitaèní síla d - vzdálenost permitivita vakua = 8,854.10-12 A
