Du concept de travail vers celui d'énergie : L'apport de Thomson

Abstract: Résumé Si l’émergence du principe de conservation de l’énergie repose principalement sur le passage du concept de force à celui de travail , l’étape restant à parcourir entre le travail et l’ énergie nécessite d’être explicitée. L’importance accordée parWilliam Thomson à l’effet mécanique et l’explicitation par cet auteur des concepts participent à cette émergence. Plus encore, et bien qu’elle soit source d’incompréhension et de contradiction, c’est la vision générale de cet auteur qui permet d’appréhender le … Show more

“…One might wonder how the two laws of thermodynamics could be compatible, that is, how can energy be “lost” if everything in nature is conserved (Guedj, 2010, p. 116; Mirowski, 1989/1995, p. 60; Rabinbach, 1992, pp. 47–49, 63)?…”

“…Here, we are led to understand that energy is “wasted” to humans even though it is preserved in nature—which makes it apparently possible for the two principles of thermodynamics to remain compatible (Guedj, 2010, pp. 116–123; Harman, 1982, p. 52; Merleau-Ponty, 1983, p. 14; Raitt, 2002, p. 67).…”
