‎First apperance of the paper in which Joule presented his last and most exact measurement of ""THE MECHANICAL EQUIVALENT OF HEAT"" by using his famous experimental design, the Paddle-wheel experiment, the most direct demonstration of the heat-mechanical-work equivalence. - He reported his final determinations of the equivalent to the French Academy of Sciences, and presented this learned body with the iron paddle-wheel calorimeter he had used in the case of mercury, thus establishing that heat is a form of energy.Mayer, in his paper, claimed that he was the first to evaluate the mechanical equivalent, and thus claiming priority to the importent conservation law, the first law of thermodynamics and the conservation of energy.Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"" 1847 P.‎
