The systematic development of the thermodynamic theory and its applications begins in Chap. 1 of this book. Some of the applications concern ideal gases, notably air. Others concern nearly incompressible fluids, notably water. Therefore it is appropriate to have the equations for ideal gases and incompressible fluids available at the outset. There are two of them, the thermal equation of state and the caloric one.
The equations of state of ideal gases and of incompressible liquids are the results of the earliest researches in the field of thermodynamics. Their best-known pioneers are Robert
Boyle
(1627-1691), Edmé
Mariotte
(1620-1684), Joseph Louis
Gay-Lussac
(1778-1850), James Prescott
Joule
(1818-1889) and William THOMSON (Lord
Kelvin
, 1824-1907) and their work is nowadays a popular subject of the physics curricula in high schools.
Therefore in this somewhat advanced - or intermediate - book on thermodynamic we feel that we may assume those equations as known. We just list them in order to introduce notation and for future reference.
