牛顿对热学的贡献

NEWTION’S CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PHYSICS OF HEAT

针对学术界对牛顿热学成就的研究较为薄弱的状况 ,详细论述了牛顿在计温术和传热学上所取得的成果 ,并分析了其发现冷却定律的背景 ,指出该定律的发现与他长期从事冶金试验密切相关 ;探讨了牛顿对热的本质与若干热现象的见解及其历史价值 .

To make up for the lack of research into Newton's achievements in the physics of heat, this paper discusses in detail Newton's contribution to therometry and heat transfer theory, analyzes the background in which he discovered the law of cooling, and points out that this discovery of the law was closely related to his many years of metallurigical experiments. Newton's views on the nature of heat and various heat phenomena and their bearing on the history of science are also explored. Key words\ \ Newton, thermometry,the law of cooling, nature of heatleum contaminated soils. The microbe, pollutants and environmental effect factors are discussed in the paper. Some measures improving degrading rate are presented.
