Introduction
the mechanical equivalent of heat states
that motion and heat are mutually interchangeable and
that in every case, a given amount of work would generate
the same amount of heat, provided the work done is totally
converted to heat energy. The mechanical equivalent of
heat was a concept that had an important part in the
development and acceptance of the conservation of
energy and the establishment of the science
of thermodynamics in the 19th century.
