Mariotte, Edme

A perfect" gas is one which closely conforms id the simple gas laws" of expansion and contraction, such as Boyle s Law, formulated in England by The Hon Robert Boyle (1627-169D (Ref 1, p 141-R) and called in France Mariotte s Law, because it was formulated independently from Boyle by Edme Mariotte (1629-1684) (Ref 1, p 515-L). This law, called in Germany and Russia... 

Edme Mariotte, a French scientist, investigated the pressure-volume relationship of gases independently of Boyle. He did not publish his work until 1676, fourteen years after Boyle had. In many European countries, the mathematical relationship between gas pressure and volume is known as Mariotte s Law. 

Boyle did not specify that temperature must be held constant if Boyle s law is to be valid. Probably he realized this and supposed it would be taken for granted. The French physicist Edme Mariotte (1630-1684), who discovered Boyle s law independently,... 

In 1664 and 1676, Robert Boyle and Edme Mariotte, independently found (and also we found in our experiment) The volume of a given amount of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to its pressure (Boyle-Mariotte s law) ... 

Swiss mathematician Daniel Bernoulli introduced the term hydrodynamics with the publication of his book Hydrodynamica in 1738. The name referred to water in motion and gave the field of fluid dynamics its first name, but it was not the first time water in action had been noted and studied. Leonardo da Vinci made observations of water flows in a river and was the one who realized that water was an incompressible flow and that for an incompressible flow, V = constant. This law of continuity states that fluid flow in a pipe is constant. In the late 1600 s, French physicist Edme Mariotte and Dutch mathematician Christiaan Huygens contributed the velocity-squared law to the science of fluid dynamics. They did not work together but they both reached the conclusion that resistance is not proportional to velocity it is instead the square of the velocity. 

Edme Mariotte (1620-1684), a French physicist and priest, discovered Boyle s law independently of Boyle in 1676, so the law is also known as Boyle-Mariotte s law. In 1660, Mariotte also discovered the eye s blind spot. He worked on many subjects, such as the motion of fluids, the nature of color, the notes of the trumpet, the barometer, the fall of bodies, and the freezing of water. 

One of the earliest quantitative laws describing the behavior of gases was due to Robert Boyle (1627-1691), an Englishman and a contemporary of Isaac Newton (1642-1727). The same law was also discovered by Edme Mariotte ( 1620-1684) in France. In 1660 Boyle published his conclusion in his New Experiments Physico-Mechanical Touching the Spring of the Air and its Effects at a fixed temperature T, the volume K of a gas was inversely proportional to the pressure p, i.e. 

So the French physicist Edme Mariotte (1620-1684) unravelled the many confusions subsequent to Galileo s attempt to complete the bending equation. Fie is celebrated as the originator of the spirit of doubt and timidity in scientific enquiry, and in gaining acceptance of his procedure as a standard approach he coupled rigorous maths with a whole series of practical tests and experiments on typical building materials. 

Timoshenko, 1983, pp. 11-15. The author is kind to Galileo and highlights his sound conclusions on scale effect. The errors in his beam theory show up in the discussion of Edme Mariotte s (1620-1684), correct formulation made some fifty years later.
