In Overview
In 1817, Dulong, along with physicist Alexis Petit, in the correction to Newton’s law of cooling, later to be named the law of Dulong and Petit. The found that by experimenting through temperature ranges as high as 243º C, found that the quickness of cooling for a constant excess of temperature, increases in geometrical progression, when the temperature of the surrounding space increases in arithmetical progression. [1] In thermochemistry, Dulong is known for having done some of the first work on heat in relation to respiration in animals. [2]

The following are quotes by Clapeyron:
“Dulong, in in his ‘Researches on the Specific Heats of Elastic Fluids’, established, by experiments, which are free from all objections, that equal volumes of all elastic fluids at a given temperature and pressure, compressed or expanded suddenly by a given fraction of their volumes, release or absorb the same absolute quantity of heat.”— Emile Clapeyron (1834), “Memoir on the Motive Power of Heat” (pg. 73)
