CHAPTER I

Introduction

6 A Historical Approach to Entropy

1. Preface to the Second Edition

After we published our first edition of “A Historical approach to Entropy” (2002, by the International Publication Institution, Tokyo),

a number of interesting things happened. For example, the journals Isis 96 (2005):294, and Centaurus 46 (2004):231 introduced the contents with their comments. In addition to these the most surprised reaction was the fact that I was invited by the Clausius Tower Society, Koszalin University of Technology, Poland, for their first memorial conference as the first speaker in 2009. The Koszalin University of Technology is located in the memo-rial city where Clausius was born in 1822 and stayed before his moving to Szczecin high school (presently in Poland). The University had been plan-ning to build the Clausius Tower since 2009 when the first Clausius Session at the Symposium on Vacuum-based Science and Technology was held.

The main part of this second edition will be the Abstract1) of my talk at the conference and the power-point2) of my actual talk, and my experience through the conference3).

In addition to these, our Clausius studies have been progressing through various methods which were reported at international congresses. Our papers with Yagi and (Tadokoro) Okamoto are compiled in this second edition4,5).

The Boscovich Conference (organized by Pavia university, Italy) was interested in the relation between Boscovich and Clausius and asked me to talk about the possibility of any direct influence. To answer this request my paper (2011) was delivered at Pavia6).

In 2013 our group published the Japanese translation of 7 Clausius important papers from German through the Tokai University publisher7) Among those Clausius papers the one (1856) with his theoretical analysis of the steam engine with experimental data (carried out by others) is well

discussed by Haruo Hayashi (in Japanese) which is introduced in English here8).

In addition to these, I have noticed H. Nagaoka's interest during his atomic model studies on Clausius gas theory. My talk about this Clausius inf luence on Nagaoka was reported at the international conference at Manchester in 20139).

2. Eri Yagi’s Autobiography in German

Warum ich meine Autobiografie in Deutsch schlreibe? Der Grund ist dass unser Studium benuetzte Clausius original paprere im Deutsch

(1847-1887).Ich bin geboren am, Oktober 1931 in Tokyo. Mein Vater war ein

Insekten Forscher. Meine Mutter war ein Medizin Doktor. Ich bin als Fruehgeburt geboren, und meine Mutter hatte viel Arbeit gehabt. In meiner Kinderheit wuenschet ich auch ein Medizin Doktor (eine Aerztin) zu werden, das war mein Traum.

Fuer Physik hatte Ich shon seit 15-Lebensjahr Interesse. 1950 bin ich in die Ochanomizu Universitaet (Physik Abteilung ) eingetreten und graduierte 1954. Ich hatte fuer die (institutionall) Geschichte der Physik Interese, weil die Atombombe in Bikini Schaden anrichtete (Atombombe Experiment, 1954). 1955 bin ich in die Tokyo Universitaet mit Magister-und Doktorkursusen eingetreten wo ich die Geschchte der Physik lernte, unter Prof. Hidehiko Tamaki. Zwischen 1960 und 1963, studierte ich mit Magister-und Doktorkursusen an der Yale University in NewHaven USA, wo ich“scientometrix“ unter Prof.Derek Price lernte, sowie die Geschchte der Mathematik, Chemie, Biologie, Medizin, und Amerikanische Naturwissenschaften.

Zwischen 1955 und 1959, 1964 und 1965, studierte ich an der Tokyo Universitaet mit Magister-und Doktorkursusen und erlangte den Ph.D.(Physik).

Vom November 1963 begann ich die Lehrtaetigkeit in Physik fuer Techniker an der Toyo Universitaet. Zwischen 1963 und 2002, unter-richtete ich Physik und Geschichite der Naturewisshenschaften an der Toyo Universitaet. Dabie erforschte Ich die Geschichte der Physik: zum Beispiel Atomik und Thermodynamik der Physik (Clausius Entropie) und

9CHAPTER I : Introduction

auch Statistische Forschung fuer Japanische Physik und lehrte junge Leute (Assistant) in der Geschichte der Physik.

Nach 2002 hoerte ich an der Toyo Universtaet auf und begann mit NPO GKN & JWDSF zu arbeiten.

2009 besuchte ich Koszalin (Kosalin University of Technology, Poland) und hielt dort einen Vortrag ueber Rudolf Clausius Entropie.

Ab 2015 habe ich fuer die JWDSF (Japah Wheelchair Dance Sport Federtion) als freiwillige Hilfe gearbeitet, Zwischen 2015 und Juli,2018, als die Praesidentin.

Seit 2016 plane ich fuer den zweite Edition von unserer Kollectiv Papiere von Entropie: Die erste Edition, “A Historical Approach to Entropy,” veroeffenlichte ich 2002. Ich habe angefangen, das Zweite Vorwort fuer die Edition zu schreiben. Ich interessierte mich fuer altgriechisch Einfluesse im 19 Jahrhundert in Deutschland, warum Clausius das griechische Wort “Entropie” adoptierte. Warum haben zwei Maenner, Rudolf Clausius und Heinrich Schliemann, das gleich Geburtsche-Jahr (1822) und den gleich Monat(Januar) sowie etwas Einflusse aus “Ilias” von Homeros und die griechischen Veroeffentlichungen ?

CHAPTER II

Clausius at Koszalin, Poland


1. Ref-1) E.Yagi, “R.Clausius’ contribution to the 1st and 2nd laws of Thermodynamics,” Book of Abstracts, 4th Symposium on Vacuum-based Science & Technology, September, Kozsalin, Poland (2009).C1, p.11 (total 1page )

Rudolf Clausius’ (1822-88) 16 papers on the mechanical theory of heat have been studied through 4 various methods, e.g., traditional text

analysis with the help of Clausius’ own manuscripts, mathematical equation analysis, experimental data table analysis, and technical term analysis. The first 3 analyses were briefly summarized while the result of the last technical analysis was explained with such important terms in thermodynamics as Disgregation (Degree of dispersion) and Uncompensirte Verwandlung (Non compensate transformation). These terms played important roles through indicating the micro nature and non (ir) reversible character, respectively before the appearance of the term Entropie (entropy) in Clausius’ famous paper of 1865.

Through these analyses, I would like to emphasize Clausius’ Role as the first presenter of the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics in an analytical form.

In addition, Clausius also presented the 1st and 2nd laws in the literary expression through the introduction of the new concept

“Entropy(Entropie)”in the field of physics.

• Clausius proposed one “equivalence value” through two kinds of transformation, e.g.,1st kind is between work and heat, Qf(t)2nd bet. two different temperatures, QF(t1,t2)These two kinds of transformation were treated at the same

time by the use of Carnot cycle.Then the “equivalence value” in functional form was

determined as Q/T ( in 1854)

3. Ref-3) E.Yagi, “Visiting Poland for the Clausius Tower Project (September 2009) Part 1(total 6 pages)

I started my trip from Narita Tokyo Airport to Koszalin on the morning of September 17th to deliver a lecture on Clausius’s contribution to the 1st

and 2nd laws of thermodynamics at the solemn session dedicated to Rudolf J.E. Clausius (born in Koszalin) to be held during the 4th Symposium on Vacuum Based Science and Technology, 8th Annual meeting of the German Vacuum Society, DVG, organized by the Institute of Mechatronics, Nanotechnology and Vacuum Technique, at Koszalin University of Technology in Poland.

My round-trip airfare from Narita to Berlin via Amsterdam on KLM was generously paid for by KUT, as well as a car with a professional driver and Mr. Jupi Poldlaszewki, a freelance writer and one of the Clausius Tower Project promoters, picked me up at the Tegel Berlin Airport. During the 4-hour drive to Koszalin, I enjoyed talking with Jupi although it was the first occasion to meet him after a 6-year email correspondence.

Here I learned that the current development of strong unification of EU countries in the fields of economy and culture had made it possible to build the Clausius Tower. In particular, the progress of friendly relations between Poland and Germany has played an important role. Jupi told me that the most important key person was physicist Dr. Jan Staskiewicz, Deputy Director for Development and Cooperation with Industry, the Institute of Mechatronics, Nanotechnology and Vacuum Technique, who had been promoting the tower project for the past six years. I told Jupi about the drastic change of political scene in Japan where the new government of Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama

From Eri YAGI’s Blog, “Visiting Poland: Part 1” (Written Nov. 12, 2009)


had come to power through the late August election. And that Mr. Hatoyama had proposed to decrease Japan’s CO2 output to 25% by 2020.

We arrived in Koszalin around 11 p.m. (European time, 7-hour differ-ence from Japan time). I finally went to bed about 2 a.m. at the Hotel Club 2CV where I stayed from September 17th to the 19th.

The next morning on the 18th I got up at 8 a.m.and although I had not slept properly due to the jetlag, enjoyed the Polish style breakfast which

includes pieces of pickles. After that I walked around the hotel to take in the sun light, and found quite a number of parks with wonderful green trees in the city. I visited a museum near the hotel where such history of Koszalin as the formation of the “old town” before the 13th century was mentioned.

About 3 p.m. in the afternoon a cameraperson who worked for KUT came and took a number of pictures of me in the lobby of the hotel. Around 3:30 p.m. people from KUT, Jupi, Jan, and a professor of physics from Torun arrived with a bouquet of flowers for me to discuss our schedule for the Clausius session in the garden at the front of the hotel while the cameraper-son took pictures of us.

We then went to the main campus of KUT by car where again around a big stone at the front of the building of KUT pictures were taken by the cameraperson and myself. The stone was located there to hold a board of data on the Clausius Tower.

In Jan’s car we went to his Institute which, organized two years before, is some distance from the main campus. Jan kindly introduced me inside rooms of the Institute where various facilities to produce a high degree of vacuum conditions were arranged for nanophysics experiments. Through this oppor-tunity I asked Jan why he decided to invite me for the Clausius session, Jan said he had found me through a Google “Rudolf Clausius” search.

Borrowing Jan’s room in the Institute, Jupi began to interview me for the local newspaper to be published on the morning of the 21st when my talk was scheduled at the Clausius session. During the interview Jan helped us providing hot drinks. Surprisingly enough, he gave me tea with a beautiful cup, made in Japan! I appreciated his sensitive hospitality.


Jupi’s interview started with why I had become interested in Clausius as a college student of physics in Japan, and how I came to do research in the his-tory of physics, focusing on Clausius. My answers would be referred to later in connection with my lecture of the 21st. This interview was published on the morning of the 21st through Jupi’s editorial effort in the local newspaper “MIASO“ ZYJE and the title is “Clausius windziany z Japonii” (Clausius, studied by a Japanese woman).

In the afternoon of September 19th I went to the lecture room 101A (capacity, 200 peopel) at KUT to check the facilities for my talk on the 21st

although I had sent my Power-point text (made on a Mac) in advance to the Symposium Chair, Prof Wilter Gulbinskwi who kindly converted it to the Windows format for the use of KUT.

After recognizing no problems with my Power-point text presentation, I could try the over-head projector system there, which would be used for my transparent sheets together with the non transparent ordinary sheets. Several university people, including Prof. Gulbinskwi helped me in the room. Finally, the possibility to use a black board was demonstrated for me.

Then in the autumn afternoon I enjoyed my way back to the hotel from the top of the hill where KUT is located. Along the way to the hotel a number of plant seeds were floating in air like golden snow dancing around me.

On the 20th, Jan picked me up in his car and brought me to the Aquarius Spa Hotel, newly built, in Kolobrzeg near the Baltic Sea, where all

participants, including me (as an invited guest) of the Conference stayed for 3 nights. In the evening, a welcome reception, sponsored by Vacuum Engineering Works TEPRO S.A. Koszalin was held, where a Swedish buffet style dinner was served. There I enjoyed the company with Jan, Professor Dieter Hoffmann from the Max Planck Institute of Berlin, an invited speaker at the Clausius session, Jupi and his partner, Marga, a physics teacher, who explained to me how to make Japanese style Sushi in Poland.


On the morning of the 21st at 9 a.m. all of us started toward KUT in Koszalin on a community bus, where I sat with Professor Hoffmann

with whom I talked about various topics, including Clausius, Mac comput-ers, and the current situations of such former East German cities near the Polish border as Eisenhuettenstd (former Fuerstenberg), the home town of my German conversation teacher and cooking in Tokyo.

We arrived at KUT at about 10 a.m. and the opening ceremony of the conference began with a welcome speech by the Rector of KUT, Prof. Tomasz Krzyriski. This was followed by several speeches by representatives from vacuum societies that continued to 10:45 a.m. namely, 15 minutes over the planned schedule.

Then the Clausius Session started with my lecture. I began firstly to introduce myself as follows:

My name is Eri Yagi from Japan. It is my great pleasure to deliver my talk on this wonderful occasion since I have been working for the past 20 years on the history of entropy, focusing on Clausius. It was the time of my 4th year at College (Ochanomizu University) where I became strongly attracted by Clausius way of thinking in the field of physics. It was because Clausius included the non-reversible (irreversible) pro-cess and un(non)-equal sign of equations while at that time it was more common to deal with the reversible process in the form of symmetry with equations of equal signs in Western physics.

Because of sudden social phenomena, namely the Japanese fishermen who were injured by radioactive fallout, caused by American H-bomb experiments near the Bikini Islands in the Pacific ocean in the spring of 1954, my academic plan was changed from becoming a solid state physicist to an external historian of physics. I wanted to propose an ideal scientific organization for the welfare of human beings and world peace.

So I started to study the history of scientific institutions. And I entered the Graduate School, Dept. of Physics, University of Tokyo where I began to work on the history of Riken (which was the most famous


scientific institution for theoretical and experimental nuclear physics in Japan before and during The Second World War) with an excellent coworker, Mr. Kiyonobu Itakura under Professor Hidehiko Tamaki (one of the followers of Yoshio Nishina).

Soon, I became interested in Derek Price’s method, e.g., statis-tical approach to the history of science, recently called “scientometrics”. So I left the University of Tokyo for 3 years to study under Prof. Price at the Dept of History of Science and Medicine, at Yale Graduate School in New Haven. My research along this line was compiled in the book, Science and Society in Modern Japan, edited by myself together with Prof. Shigeru Nakayama and Mr David Swain (published by the University of Tokyo Press and MIT Press in 1974).

After coming back from the U.S., I joined the group of Dr K. Itakura and Dr Tosaku Kimura to write a biography of Hantaro NAGAOKA, the first Japanese creative physicist, known for his Saturnian atomic model of 1903. After 10 years of investigation, mainly dealing with Nagaokoa’s scientific papers and manuscripts, our biography, Hantaro Nagaoka was published (by the Asahi Newspaper Publisher in 1973) where I wrote sections of a historical background of Nagaoka’s atomic model and spectroscopy. Through Nagaoka’s research I shifted from being an external historian to an internal historian of physics. It was then that I realized my strong interest in R. Clausius’s mechanical theory of heat and his concept of entropy.

I then went on to say that it was my pleasure to deliver our results with the help of figures and tables through a Power point text. Most of our results had been published in the form of papers, which were compiled as a book, called “A Historical Approach to Entropy, collected papers of Eri Yagi and her coworkers on the occasion of her retirement”(from International Publishing Institute, Tokyo, 2002,186pp).

And I said that I would summarize here the results focusing on Clausius’s contribution to the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics.

The following is the shortened version of my talk, mentioned above.


Firstly, through text and MS (located at the Deutsches Museum in Munich) analysis : Fourier’s mathematical influence, shown and along the line of this method, e.g. taking the difference between the flow of “in and out”, Clausius 1st law of thermodynamics was presented in the form of the 2nd order differentials. In detail, taking the difference between the heat flow of “in and out” to the Carnot cycle’s working substance (for example an ideal gas), then Clausius put a ratio between the above heat and work expanded, to be a constant “A (reciprocal to Joule’s J)” e.g., (Heat /Work) equals to A.

Secondly, through mathematical equation analysis: Clausius’s attitude to treat the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics as a related set of equations was noticed through a quick glance of our database, which consists of 500 equations from Clausius 16 papers written between 1850 and 1865. (See A Supplement of the Collected Papers of Eri Yagi and her Coworkers, A Database from R. Clausius’s Abhandlungen, Eri Yagi Institute of Science, Kawagoe, 2002, 72pp.) Through this attitude

Eri Yagi, delivering her lecture on September 21 (Photo taken by Dr Jan Staskiewicz of Koszalin University of Technology)


Clausius proposed the form of entropy dS(dQ/T) as a complete differ-ential for the reversible process corresponding to energy dU, which was already considered as a complete differential in the field of mechanics.

Thirdly, through experimental table analysis: Clausius was interested in experimental data although he did not carry out experiments. himself. We found the same data tables were used in publications by Clausius and by W. Thomson.

Fourthly, through technical term analysis (which was currently made and reported at the 23rd International Congress of the History of Science, Budapest, 28 July to 2nd August 2009): among Clausius special technical terms(in1850,1854,&1862) such as “Aequivalent (Equivalent)”, “Uncompensirte Verwandlung (Non compensate transformation)” and “Disgregation (Degree of dispersion)” played important roles before the appearance of the term “Entropie (Entropy)” which was newly proposed in his paper of 1865.

Through the above various analyses, it was clearly shown that Clausius was the first presenter of the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynam-ics in the form of differentials together with their well known literary expression, below:

The 1st law: The energy of the universe is constant.The 2nd law: The entropy of the universe tends to a maximum.

The second speaker, Prof. Hoffmann, delivered ”Rudolf Clausius (1822-1888) from Koeslin to Berlin & Bonn, from kinetic theory to modern

thermodynamics,” which was nicely done with pictures of important physi-cists and buildings, related to Clausius.

The third speaker, Prof Marek Danielewski of AGH University of Technology, Cracow “Mass transport and entropy production at different length scales “ was interesting from the view point of the modern concept of entropy.

After the coffee break, the Chancellor of KUT, Dr Artur Wergraf, pre-sented the “Clausius Tower” project. (The Tower, next to the KUT main building, will be established by 2011 in the form of a sea lantern, carrying the


light and the Foucault pendulum).Then the ceremony of laying the corner stone for the construction of the

Clausius Tower was carried out. As part of the ceremony each of the partici-pants, including myself, was requested to sign their name on a piece of paper, which was put into a hole made in the stone of a spherical shape. A picture of the conference participants, who left the lecture room 101A, was taken at the front of KUT main building for the commemoration. About 100 people had come from all over Poland and 12 European countries. I am the only person to have come from an Asian country. Finally, the stone was placed in the ground, and covered by cement at the front of the big stone with the board of Clausius. We then returned to Kolobrzeg for lunch and the afternoon session on vacuum based science and technology began in the Hotel.

In the evening of the 21st a Banquet was held in the dining room of the hotel, where a local band played a variety of music, including Polish

tunes.After the banquet Jan and Jupi asked Prof. Hoffmann and me to get

together in the lobby in order to discuss the way of promoting the Clausius Tower project in the coming two years. Prof. Hoffmann suggested holding some lecture meetings on Clausius each year. I suggested producing a new website of the Clausius Tower project and organizing people, interested in Clausius in a broader sense, through an e-mail network where the progress of the Tower project would be described. Jan and Jupi also requested me to retune to Koszalin on the occasion of the Tower’s completion in 2011.

The exciting day for me ended with joy feeling that I should keep good health in the coming two years.

CHAPTER III

Clausius through various study methods


1. Ref.-4) E.Yagi and Rika (Tadokoro) Okamoto, “A History of Entropy through various Methods,” (delivered on 29 July) Abstract, XXIII International Congress of History of Science (2009), Budapest, Hungary. (total 1 page)

We have been studying the history of entropy through various meth-ods.1) Our papers were compiled as a book called “A Historical

Approach to Entropy,” in 2002.2) In his book R. Clausius’ 16 papers (1850-1865) on the mechanical theory of heat were studied through such various methods as text analysis with the help of Clausius’ own manuscripts, math-ematical equation analysis by the use of our own database, experimental data table analysis and technical term analysis. It was clearly recognized that the results acquired through the traditional text analysis were greatly expanded thanks to the other analyses. In addition to this expansion, new findings came out as a result of these analyses. They were 1. Clausius’ pair-ing treatment of the first and second laws of thermodynamics through the equation analysis, 2. A sort of existence of experimental data distribution in the inter-European academic community which required Clausius to com-pare his value, 1/A with Joule’s J (the equivalent of work for the unit of heat) through the experimental data table analysis, and 3. The wider possibility for non-natives of German to study the mechanical theory of heat through technical term analysis.

We briefly reported the above results at the annual Conference of the British Society for the History of Science in 2003.3) In the case of the method of the experimental table analysis: Clausius discussed a number of experimental tables in his papers on thermodynamics although he hardly carried out any experiments. We have collected Clausius’ experimental tables to compare them with W. Thomson’s because they both adopted some data from V. Regnault, a famous French experimentalist at the time.


Through the experimental table analysis, the existence of three related tables by E. Clapeyron, W. Thomson and R. Clausius was found out. These three tables include the so-called Carnot’s function “C,” the function of tempera-ture, which played an important role in the formation of the second law of thermodynamics.

In the case of the technical term analysis: We started to use Clausius’ 12th paper on the theory of electricity. Firstly, frequently appeared names of 10 physicists in the paper of 1853 were discussed rather than actual tech-nical terms. These 10 physicists are interestingly classified in two groups: 1) Physicists in the field of thermodynamics: S. Carnot, Mariotte & Guy-Lussac, Helmholtz, and W. Thomson, 2) Physicists in the field of electric-ity: Johan Poggendorff (1796-1877). George Ohm (1787-1854), Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), Thomas Seebeck (1770-1831), and Jean Peltier (1785-1845). The last two physicists are direct predecessors of the thermoelectric effect (Seebeck effect and Peltier effect). W. Thomson (Kelvin) also belongs to the group of predecessors.

At this conference, we would like to report our recent progress along the above line. Particularly, through the two methods, namely, through the experimental data table analysis and the technical term analysis where such technical terms as Verwandlung (transformation), Disgregation, Arbeit (work) and Werk (action) will be considered.

Rudolf Clausius (1822-88)’s 16 papers on the mechanical theory of heat have been studied through 4 various methods, e.g., traditional text

analysis with the help of Clausius’s own manuscripts, mathematical equation analysis, experimental data table analysis, and technical term analysis. The first 3 analyses were briefly summarized while the result of the last techni-cal analysis was explained with such important terms in thermodynamics as Disgregation (Degree of dispersion) and Uncompensirte Verwandlung (Non compensate transformation). These terms played important roles through indicating the micro nature and non (ir) reversible character, respectively before the appearance of the term Entropie (entropy)in Clausius’s famous paper of 1865. The result of technical term analysis for his paper on the theory of electricity (1853) by the use of a text mining method is also shown with tables and figures.

1. Introduction

We have been studying Clausius’s papers, published between 1847 and 1873 under the name of the mechanical theory of heart for the past 20 years, and published a book, in which our research papers were mostly collected in 2002.1,2 On this occasion the results of our studies through 4 important analyses will be mentioned.

1.1 Traditional Text Analysis with Clausius’s own ManuscriptsWe discovered the strong influence of Joseph Fourier’s work, the analyt-

ical theory of heat on Clausius’s mathematical approach. 3 Through studying Clausius‘s own manuscript which was in the style of a note book, called “Aus Waermetheorie von Fourier (1848)” HS 6452 at the Archive section of the Library of the Deutsches Museum in Munich. It was found out that Fourier’s mathematical method was well applied by Clausius, e.g. taking the difference between the heat flow of “in and out” for the case of the Carnot cycle’s working substance (for example an ideal gas), Clausius succeeded in obtaining the heat (the difference) in the form of the 2nd order differentials. Then he calculated a ratio between the above heat and work (produced), to be a constant A (reciprocal to Joule’s “J”). Finally, Clausius ‘s 1st law of thermodynamics was presented in the form of the 2nd order differentials. Detailed discussions were published in our paper.4

1.2 Mathematical Equation AnalysisWe created a database which consisted of about 500 mathematical

equations from Clausius‘s 16 important papers (1850-1865) compiled in his 2 publications (1864 &1867).5 Having glanced over these equations, several significant facts were realized. The most important one was Clausius’s approach for treating the 1st and (pre-) 2nd laws of thermodynamics as a related set of equations, and it was noticed through a quick glance at our database. Through this attitude Clausius proposed the form of entropy dS (dQ/T) as a complete differential for the reversible process corresponding to the (internal) energy dU of the 1st law, which was already considered a


complete differential in the field of mechanics. Detailed discussions were published in our paper.6

1.3 Experimental Data Table AnalysisClausius was interested in experimental data although he did not carry

out experiments himself. These experimental data were by E. Clapeyron, J. P. Joule, W. Thomson, and H. V. Regnault. We found three related exper-imental tables by Clapeyron (1834), W. Thomson (read 1849) and Clausius (1850). These tables include the so-called Carnot function C (the function of temperature) for 4 different temperatures, including 100 (Cent Gr.). The function C played an important role in the formation of the 2nd law of ther-modynamics. Detailed discussions with these tables were published in our paper.7

2 Technical Term Analysis

2.1 Technical Terms in thermodynamicsWe picked up 6 special technical terms, used in Clausius’s 4 papers

in thermodynamics through the traditional text analysis method. These papers were “Ueber die bewegende Kraft der Wäerme und Gesetze,welche sich daraus für die Wärmelehre selbust ableiten lassen” (1850)8, “Ueber eine veränderet Form des zweiten Hauptsatzes der mechanischen Wäermetheorie”(1854)9, “Ueber die Anwendung des Satzes von der Aequivalentz der Verwandlungen auf die inner Arbeit”(1862) 10, and “Ueber die verschiedene für die Anwendung bequeme Formen der Hauptgleichungen der mechanischen Wäermetheorie”(1865). 11 These 6 technical terms are “Aequivalent (Equivalent)”, “Nicht umkehrbar (Nonreversible)”, “Verwandlung (Transformation)”, “Uncompensirte Verwanglung (Noncompensate transformation)”, ”Disgregation (Degree of dispersion)”, and “Entropie (Entropy). The appearance of these terms is shown in this paper by Table 1 with Figure 1 of the chronological table of development by R.Clausius (1822-1888), which was taken from Figure (0-1)


in Ref. 1.The term Aequivalent (Equivalent) was used firstly in Clausius’s paper

of 1850 to express the principle of the equivalence between heat and work, namely, the 1st law of thermodynamics. Here Clausius wrote that his con-stant “A” expressed the equivalent of heat for the unit of work. It is worth pointing out that A is reciprocal to Joule’s “J” which expressed the equiva-lent of work for the unit of heat. (Note that Clausius’s equations of thermo-dynamics were written in the heat unit while Joule’s were in the work unit). In his paper of 1854, Clausius expanded the usage of the term Aequivalent (Equivalent) together with the term Verwandlung (Transformation). Here he named the transformation from work to heat which was assumed to have the positive equivalent value as the first kind of transformation. In addition to that, the transformation of heat from higher to lower temperatures, also the positive equivalent value, was named as the second kind of transfor-mation. Clausius tried to find the common equivalent value for the above two kinds of transformation. Then he succeeded to find the form of value as Q/T (heat/temperature) which is the mathematical form of Carnot’s law (based on the material theory of heat) for the reversible process. The term Uncompensirte Verwanglung (Noncompensate transformation) indicated Clausius’s interest in the ir(non)reversible process, which started from 1854. The term Disgregation (Degree of dispersion) was used by Clausius from 1862 to show the micro nature of working substances. He mentioned that heat increased the Disigregation of molecules. This expression meant the micro nature of thermodynamics from the beginning before the appearance of the term Entropie (Entropy).

2.2 Technical Term Analysis in the theory of electricity

2.2.1Applying the method of text mining to the analysis on Clausius’s papers

We started to investigate Clausius‘s 4 papers (1852-57) on the theory of electricity through the traditional text analysis with the help of our database.


Here the 1st and (pre-) 2nd laws of thermodynamics were applied to solve electrical phenomena. Further, the way of approaching small particles of matter was developed. In addition to the above, we began to perform our preliminary studies on the technical term analysis of his 12th paper.12 Now we will describe how we applied “noun analysis” on Clausius’s 12th paper (“Abhandlung XII” in German13). Here we used some basic methods of text mining.

2.2.2 What is “text mining”?Text mining is a method of document analysis, which mainly uses com-

putational and statistical procedures and tools. According to the definition of text mining by Feldman and Sanger14;

“Text mining can be broadly defined as a Knowledge-intensive process in which a user interacts with a document collection over time by using a suite of analysis tools.”

Text mining is often referred to as a part of data mining, machine learn-ing, and computational linguistics, because basically this method requires such retrieval capability to check the data quantity and quality. It generally requires “machine readable” data and some tools to cleanse objective data, to apply the statistical computation and to draw some graphs.

In this paper, we would like to focus on computational and statistical text mining as a text analysis to analyze again Clausius’s 12th paper.

2.2.3 Previous text analysis on “Abhandlung XII”As mentioned above, we have already tried the method of technical term

analysis15 on Clausius’s 12th paper (called Abhandlung XII in German).In our previous paper it was realized that the thermoelectric current

played an important applicable phenomenon in both the 1st and pre-2nd laws of thermodynamics. Further, the distribution graph of frequently appeared physicists in the paper was interestingly classified into such two fields of people as thermodynamics and electricity. (Shown by Figure. IV-I in Ref.1, p.37.)


2.2.4 Applying the method of text mining to “Abhandlung XII”We applied the method to “Abhandlung XII” again along the following

three processes;1) To analyze entire technical terms in Abhandlung XII,2) To build a basic technical terms’ list for analyzing all Clausius’s

papers in the near future,3) To renew the knowledge of text mining for the purpose of making a

basis for new statistical tools.We have analyzed Clausius’s 16 papers through such various methods

as the traditional text analysis, the mathematical equation analysis, and the experimental data table analysis. These 16 papers were compiled in the first edition of his collection of papers (Ref.5, Erste & Zweite Abtheilungen). The subjects of these were thermodynamics, the theory of radiation, thermoelec-tricity, and the gas theory. If we planned to apply the method of text mining to all Clausius’s papers, we would face the difficulties, caused by the data quantity. The reason is because that there is very limiter quantity of public data of Clausius’s papers for the use in the above purpose.

So we have to make “machine readable” data at first through the follow-ing procedures;

(1) scanning papers with a scanner,(2) turning the scanned image into text data through OCR (Optical

Character Recognition) software, or input the text data as a computer-read-able format by hand,

(3) cleansing the data so it is readable by a computer,(4) making a dictionary for the text analysis.Through these procedures, each process itself is very simple but it takes

much time and increases each document size and the number of documents. There is some software that can automatically handle the processes (1) to (3). However, cleansing the data (which means eliminating errors of OCR, formatting the text, and correcting words) manually is indispensable for analyzing a document, and also making the dictionary for each purpose by hand.


So we have firstly decided to carry out the above procedures for Abhadlung XII, because of its word quantity, which is of a relatively large volume including the same words that appear in other Clausius’s papers. For these procedures, we aim to build our own method of technical term analysis.

2.2.5 Analyzing the ResultThe following tables and figures were made as a result of our studies:Table 2. Appearance Frequency (Top 20) of the Technical Terms.Table 3. Appearance Frequency of the Technical Terms’ Categories

(sub-fields in Physics) in Clausius’s 12th Paper. Note: Each category which is indicated in this table is selected from a proper sub-field in Physics. Each noun in Abhandlung XII is classified by one of this category. Each word, which appears here, has two or more meanings but we selected only one of the meanings.

Figure 2. Appearance Frequency graph of Technical Terms from Table 2.Figure 3. Appearance Frequency graph of the Technical Terms’

Categories from Table 3.

2.2.6 DiscussionThrough the above studies by the text mining, where we used typical

nouns as technical terms, the essential character of Clausius’s 12th paper became clearer, e.g. the high appearance frequency are observed (see Table 3) in such 2 sub-fields as thermodynamics and electromagnetism. Figure 3 indicated clearly the close connection between thermodynamics and elec-tromagnetism. However, there are some difficulties, namely, how to classify each noun to a proper category.

3. Remarks & Conclusions

On this occasion the results of our studies through the 4 various meth-ods, especially those through the method of technical term analysis were mainly described. Our technical term analysis has two approaches to the


original texts: firstly ticking up the technical terms through the traditional method with the help of our database, and secondly doing them trough the appearance frequency with the help of a computer. Both ways of technical term analysis played important roles to expand results rather than only relaying on the traditional text analysis.

PrefaceThrough the development of the mechanical theory of heat, the concept

of particles, especially originated by Newton and followed by Boscovich played an important role in the 19th century. Rudolf Clausius (1822-88) mentioned an important role of particles in his first paper on thermodynam-ics, written in 1850. In that he spoke of heat caused through motions of the ultimate particles of the body.. He called such particles as “die kleinst Theile der Koerper” (in Gernan) 1).

Later he adopted the term “Disgregation,” which meant the degree of dispersion of particles (molecules) of the body (system) in his paper on ther-modynamics of 1862. The term Disgregation played an important role in the paper of 1865, where he proposed the well known concept of Entropy.

I would like to discuss the relation between Disgregation and entropy. Here I mean the particle as a perfectly elastic sphere with no inner structure, adopted by James Maxwell 2) .

Introduction of the term Disgregation in 1862Firstly, Clausius introduced the term Disgregation to show the ability of

heat by which distances between molecules of the body were increased3)

Namely this term indicated the ability of heat to do work. Here Clausius expressed the Disgregation by “Z” with the following equation (2):

dZ = (AdL) /T

where dL is work while T shows absolute temperature. A is the


Clausius’s constant that corresponds to (1/J ) where J is Joule’s constant.For the reversible circular process Clausius wrote the following equation (15):

∫ dZ = 0

while for the non-reversible circular process equation:

∫ (dQ + dH) /T+∫ dZ > 0

Clausius explained in his note to the above VIth paper (added in 1864) the difference between the specific heat and the heat capacity (Wärmecapcität). He mentioned that true heat capacity must be equal for such three different conditions of water: liquid, ice and gas. Then he con-sidered dQ, e.g.the heat given to the body, was distributed into two parts, namely, one part, which remained in the form of heat, indicated the tem-perature and the other part, which was transferred to work, produced the particle (molecular) movements of the body. The former part meant the true heat capacity by Clausiius. The final equation of the VIth paper ended at that of (29):

Z – Z0 = mc log (T0 / T )

where m indicated mass while c was the true heat capacity.

Development of the concept of Disgregation in connection with that of Entropy in Abhandlung IX (1865).

Here Clausius introduced the term dS (= dQ/T) as the differential expression of entropy. He started from the following equation (61):

∫ dQ/T = ∫ dH/T+∫ dZ

and finally arrived at the following equation (64)


∫ dQ/T = S - S0

The above calculation clearly shows that the concept of Disgregation is included in the entropy concept. There might be some reflection from Clausius' s research on the theory of gas (1857,1858,1862) although no refer-ences to the term Disgregation were found among those papers4).

Experimental backgrounds of DisgregationClausius was interested in the experimental data of specific heat of

water as mentioned above. In addition, see Appendix B to the VIth paper where a table of specific heats of 35 different gases through 7 columns were listed. These experimental data were by Regnault. Clausius himself pub-lished a paper in the Ann. der Chem. und Parm. vol.118, p.14 (1861) with the added 8th column of the true heat capacity of the above gases, which were theoretically reduced from the strongly over-heated vapors.

Additional NotesI have already mentioned the process of Clausius‘s finding of the concept

of entropy through a functional analysis for the reversible process: namely he succeeded in finding the perfect differential dS as dQ/T corresponding to the dU (internal energy )5).

With the great developments in the field of the steam-engine, such as appearances of a high pressure engine in the 1840s, more accurate

knowledge on steam in the adiabatic expansion became indispensable. Under such circumstances, H. V. Regnault (1810-1878) presented precise experi-mental data in 1847.(1) However, these data denied the Caloric theory that had been the fundamental theory of heat engineering. At the same time, an important problem was the consistency of the experimental data and a new theory through the construction of the mechanical theory of heat by Clausius and others. The realistic problem in such an engineering area and construc-tion of his mechanical theory of heat existed as important issues for Clausius from the beginning.

Although the fifth paper by Clausius has rarely been discussed by histori-ans of physics, it should be highly evaluated as the paper which introduced the conclusion to the theory of the steam engine by applying the results, obtained through his fourth paper with the earlier entropy concept. In the fifth paper, Clausius took up Théorie des Machines á Vapeur (1844, Paris) by de Pambour, which was the main theoretical book on steam-engine engineering, based on the Caloric theory at that time. Clausius compared the numerical values obtained from Pambour’s theory with those numerical values derived from Clausius’ mechanical theory of heat under the same setting and conditions. And Clausius indicated that his theoretical values were in considerably good agreement with experimental data. I would like to emphasize some quantita-tive applications attributable to Clausius for the practical field, and to show that his fifth paper contributed to the great progress of steam engine studies.

Together with my three followers, I have been studying the origin of entropy over the past 30 years, and finally published a set of collected

papers titles, “A Historical Approach to Entropy” (International Publishing Institute, Tokyo, 2002). We also published the translations of 7 Clausius papers from German to Japanese with comments in 2013. Through these publications the following findings were made clear:

Clausius had a strong intention to treat the first and second laws of the mechanical theory of heat (thermodynamics) as a set of analytical equations with the heat unit. This unit expressed by “A” (equivalent of heat for the unit of work) corresponds to 1/J.

The Kozalin University of Technology is located in the city where Clausius was born in 1822 and lived before moving to Szczecin High School (presently in Poland). The university has been planning to build a Clausius Tower since 2009 when the first Clausius Session at the Symposium on Vacuum-based Science and Technology was held and where I had the privi-lege of being the first speaker.

Nagaoka’s model was one of them. He adopted the mechanical stability of the Saturnian ring (used by Maxwell) to his atomic model where a great number of electrons were moving around the central positive charge (a sort of nucleus). Nagaoka showed several physical laws were confirmed even if the material would be consisted from his atomic models.

4. What is Nagaoka’s original point? Most of his approach was followed his former teacher Boltzmann although no references. However Boltzmann did not consider the inner structure of atoms while Nagaoka adopted his atomic model with the above mentioned inner structures.

5. What kind of relation between Boltzmann and Nagaoka? Nagaoka


(1865-1950) studied in Germany between 1893 and 1896 where he took courses and seminars under Helmholtz, Fucks, Kundt and Boltzmann in Berlin. Then went to Munich for continuous study under Boltzmann.

6. What is other Nagaoka’s contribution? His exact experimental data in spectroscopy started in 1907 and continued to 1924 played the most important role for the discovering of the concept of the spin by Pari and Goudsmit. The exactness was mainly depend on Nagaoka’s strong inter-ests in the inside structure of atoms.

Abstract

Clausius proposed the Virial theorem(1870) for the mate-rial points whose movements were stationary along the line of his mechanical theory of heart. No inside structure of the material point of which the substance (gas) consisted was assumed. Nagaoka(1905) used Boltzmann’s method of approach to present the Van der Waals equation through Clausius’s Virial theorem. Finally Nagaoka gave a possi-bility in the case that the substance (gas) consisted of his atomic modes.

What is Clausius Virial (theorem) ?

After presenting the first and second laws of mechanical theory of heat (1865), Clarsius in 1870 proposed the Virial (theorem) to indicate the relation between heat and the mechanical theory.1)

What is Clausius’s Virial Theorem

Here he related the sum of the average of total kinetic energy of material particles in stationary motion as corre-sponding to the sum of the square root of the average of each material‘s Xx + Yy+ Zz. Where x,y, and z indicate the positions on the coordinate of the x,y, and z axes while X, Y, and Z the component of the acting forces. The equation will be shown in the chronological table.

Note: The right-hand side is called “Virial” ( force in Latin).

What is Nagoka ‘s atomic model?

After the discovery of electrons in an atom through the discovery of the Zeeman effect (1896), several atomic models were proposed in the early 20th century which had electrons in the atom. Nagaoka’s model was one of these. They went into Rutherford’s nuclear model (at Manchester,1911) and were developed into Bohr’s model (1913) with a stable orbit of electrons.

Nagaoka’s model (detailes)

Nagaoka in 1903 proposed adopting the mechanical sta-bility of Saturnian rings (used by Maxwell) to his atomic model with a great number of electrons moving around the outside of the central positive charge ( a sort of nucleus). 2) Nagaoka qualitatively explained, such physical phenomena as spectrum lines and radioactivity, if the material (gas) consisted of his atomic models.

Van der Waals equation was confirmed by Nagaoka

Nagaoka in 1905 showed that the Van der Waals equation was established if the gas consisted of his atomic models3)4).

What is Nagaoka’s original point?

Most of his approach was followed that of his former teacher Boltzmann although with no references, written by Nagaoka himself.5) Nagaoka studied directly under Boltzmann at Berlin, Munich and Vienna between 1893 and 1894 during his three years in Germany. Clausius and Boltzmann assumed a force between two particles as a simple function of their distance with no inner structure of them.

Nagaoka’s original point (continued)

On the other hand, Nagaoka adopted his atomic model with the above mentioned inner structures and wrote more detailed form for the force between two his atomic models.

Firstly after Clausius, Nagaoka wrote the Virial (force) as Wa + Wi where Wa was the well known macro external force due to the pressure p,namely, -3pV. Wi is consisted of the internal forces of W2 and W3.

Nagaoka ‘s culculation

Nagaoka adopted Boltzmann’s result for W2 which is the Virial due to the impact of spherical particles of diameter σ.For W3 Nagaoka used his original result of the Virial due to his atomic models. He showed in his previous paper that the repulsion force between his 2 atomic models was pro-portional to 1/(distance r)4 On the other hand, Boltzmann assumed it as a function of r.


Nagaoka and Van der Waals equation

Finally, Nagaoka added all terms, mentioned above, neglected the higher terms, and succeeded in presenting the following Van der Waals equation:

Originally presented by Van der Waals (1873) based on experimental data.

Other Nagaoak’s contribution.

His exact experimental data in spectroscopy which started in 1908 and continued up to 1930 played the most important role in the discovery of the concept of the spin by Pauli (1924)6) and Goudsmit & Uhlenbeck(1925). The high qualitiy of Nagaoka’s experimental data with the improvement of spectroscopy instruments at RIKEN (The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Tokyo) were mainly result of his strong theoretical interests in the inside structure of atoms (see Yagi, Itakura & Kimura, H. Nagaoka den (The Asahi P., 1973)).

In addition to the above, I deeply appreciate Ms Tossi Conrad’s help with the German writing together with the useful advice by Emerita Professor Gertorude Krombholz of the University of Munik.

Finally, I would like to express my deep appreciation to the late Dr. Jan Staskiewicz (vacuum experimental physicist, who passed away on the 9th of March, 2013) and also to his friend Mr. Jupi Podlaszewski (Journalist). As the active members of the Clausius Tower Society, they had long been interested in my Clausius research through the Internet and contacted me several years before the special year of 2009.

Eri Yagi: Biographical information

Professor Emeritus of Toyo University, Tokyo. Director of Eri Yagi Institute for History of Science, and member of the NPO Gakujutu Kenkyu Network.

Eri Yagi received her undergraduate education in physics at Ochanomizu University, Tokyo. After studying under the late Professor Derek Price at Yale Graduate School for three years (1960-63) on a leave of absence from the Department of physics, the Graduate School of the University of Tokyo, Yagi received a Ph.D. in physics in 1965. The topics of her thesis were a sta-tistical approach to Japanese physics, the internal history of H. Nagaoka's atomic model (1903) and spectroscopy.

For the past 30 years Yagi has been working on Clausius and entropy. In addition to the traditional text analysis, Yagi and her co-workers have been exploring several useful methods: They are the method of mathematical equation analysis, experimental table analysis, and technical term analysis. These results have been collected in the first edition of “A Historical Approach to Entropy”, published in 2002. This second edition includes a sim-ilar collection of papers, published between 2002 to 2018.
