In June 1845, Joule read his paper " On the Mechanical Equivalent of Heat " to the British Association meeting in Cambridge.

This statement came to be known as the mechanical equivalent of heat and was a precursory form of the first law of thermodynamics.

Miculescu is noted for his 1891 determination, with great precision, of the mechanical equivalent of the calorie using water circulated in a calorimeter.

The two track down Bates and Stratton, who are failed attempts of Cyber-conversion who have had their arms and legs replaced by mechanical equivalents.
25.
Older SD40-2 units used in low-power modes such as yard switching or hump service have been de-turbocharged, resulting in the mechanical equivalent of a SD38-2.
26.
His achievements were overlooked and priority for the discovery of the " mechanical equivalent of heat " was attributed to James Joule in the following year.
27.
He is particularly noted for inventing a device for determining the mechanical equivalent of heat that was exhibited at the " Exposition Universelle ", Paris, 1878.
28.
The measurement of this wave, which is known medically as a ballistocardiac effect, is the mechanical equivalent of an electrocardiogram, which measures the intensity of the heart's electrical signals.
29.
The constant of proportionality is universal and independent of the system and in 1845 and 1847 was measured by James Joule, who described it as the " mechanical equivalent of heat ".
