Mémoires sur l'élasticité et la dilatibilité des fluides jusqu'aux très hautes pressions -- EDITION ORIGINALE -- TIRE-A-PART (OFFPRINT) des Annales de chimie et de physique tome 29 -- BEL EEMPLAIRE
P., Gauthier-Villars, 1893; un volume in 8 relié en demi-chagrin marron, dos orné de fers dorés (reliure de l'époque), 140pp., figures dans le texte
---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- TIRE-A-PART (OFFPRINT) DES ANNALES DE CHIMIE ET DE PHYSIQUE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "AMAGAT's works dealt with fluide statics... They display the isotherms of a number of gases for temperatures between 0 and 100 and for pressures up to slightly more than 400 atmospheres... Without the experimental data contributed by Amagat, many important theoretical works would have been impossible : research on liquids, Tait's kinetic theory of gases, the works of Van Der Waals, the computation of coefficients in Sarrau's formula and Sarrau's application of his formula to oxygen...".
