精彩書摘
As early as 1738 Daniel Bernoulli advanced the idea that gases are formedof elastic molecules rushing hither and thither at large speeds, colliding andrebounding according to the laws of elementary mechanics. Of course, thiswas not a completely new idea, because several Greek philosophers assertedthat the molecules of all bodies are in motion even when the body itselfappears to be at rest. The new idea was that the mechanical effect of theimpact of these moving molecules when they strike against a solid is whatis commonly called the pressure of the gas. In fact if we were guided solelyby the atomic hypothesis, we might suppose that the pressure would beproduced by the repulsions of the molecules. Although Bernoullis schemewas able to account for the elementary properties of gases (compressibility,tendency to expand, rise of temperature in a compression and fall in anexpansion, trend toward uniformity), no definite opinion could be passedon it until it was investigated quantitatively. The actual development of thekinetic theory of gases was, accordingly, accomplished much later, in thenineteenth century.
