scholarly journals On the geometrical representation of the expansive action of heat, and the theory of thermo-dynamic engines

The author remarks, that if abscissæ be measured from an origin of rectangular coordinates, representing the volumes assumed by an elastic substance, and if ordinates, at right angles to those abscissæ, be taken to denote the corresponding expansive pressures exerted by the substance, then any succession of changes of pressure and volume may be represented geometrically by the coordinates of a curve. It such a curve have two extremities, the area included between the curve and the ordinates let fall from its extremities will represent (when positive) the expansive power given out by the substance during the process represented by the curve.

The method of the geopotential parameters determination with the use of the gradiometry data is considered. The second derivative of the gravitational potential in the correction equation on the rectangular coordinates x, y, z is used as a measured variable. For the calculated value of the measured quantity required for the formation of a free member of the correction equation, the the Cunningham polynomials were used. We give algorithms for computing the second derivatives of the Cunningham polynomials on rectangular coordinates x, y, z, which allow to calculate the second derivatives of the geopotential at the rectangular coordinates x, y, z.Then we convert derivatives obtained from the Cartesian coordinate system in the coordinate system of the gradiometer, which allow to calculate the free term of the correction equation. Afterwards the correction equation coefficients are calculated by differentiating the formula for calculating the second derivative of the gravitational potential on the rectangular coordinates x, y, z. The result is a coefficient matrix of the correction equations and corrections vector of the free members of equations for each component of the tensor of the geopotential. As the number of conditional equations is much more than the number of the specified parameters, we go to the drawing up of the system of normal equations, from which solutions we determine the required corrections to the harmonic coefficients.

The issue of calculating the plane rectangular coordinates using the data obtained by the satellite observations during the creation of the geodetic networks is discussed in the article. The peculiarity of these works is in conversion of the coordinates into the Mercator projection, while the plane coordinate system on the base of Gauss-Kruger projection is used in Russia. When using the technology of global navigation satellite system, this task is relevant for any point (area) of the Earth due to a fundamentally different approach in determining the coordinates. The fact is that satellite determinations are much more precise than the ground coordination methods (triangulation and others). In addition, the conversion to the zonal coordinate system is associated with errors; the value at present can prove to be completely critical. The expediency of using the Mercator projection in the topographic and geodetic works production at low latitudes is shown numerically on the basis of model calculations. To convert the coordinates from the geocentric system with the Mercator projection, a programming algorithm which is widely used in Russia was chosen. For its application under low-latitude conditions, the modification of known formulas to be used in Saudi Arabia is implemented.

The experience of mathematical modeling of the 3D-sphere in the 4D-space and projecting it by mathematical cartography methods in the 3D-Euclidian space is presented. The problem is solved by introduction of spherical coordinates for the 3D-sphere and their transformation into the rectangular coordinates, using the mathematical cartography methods. The mathematical relationship for calculating the length distortion mp(s) of the ds linear element when projecting the 3D-sphere from the 4-dimensional Euclidian space into three-dimensional Euclidian space is derived. Numerical examples, containing the modeling of the ds small linear element by spherical coordinates of 3D-sphere, projecting this sphere into the 3D-Euclidian space and length of ds calculating by means of its projection dL and size of distortion mp(s) are solved. Based on the model of the Universe known in cosmology as the 3D-sphere, the hypothesis of connection between distortion mp(s) and the known observed effects Redshift and Microwave Background Radiation is considered.

This work contains continued research carried out on improving mathematical models of the Gauss-Krueger projection in accordance with the parameters of any ellipsoid with the removal of points from the axial meridian to l ≤ 6° . In terms of formulae earlier derived by the authors with improved convergence for the calculation of planar rectangular coordinates by geodesic coordinates, the algorithms for determining the convergence of meridians on the plane and the scale of the image are obtained. The improvement of the formulae represented in the form of series in powers of the difference in longitudes was accomplished by separating spherical terms in series and then replacing their approximate sums by exact expressions using the formulae of spherical trigonometry. As in previous works published in this journal [7, 8], determining the sums of the spherical terms was carried out according to the laws of the transverse-cylindrical projection of the sphere on the plane. Theoretical studies are given and formulae are proposed for estimating the observational errors in the results of the derived algorithms. The maximum of observational errors of convergence of meridians and scale, proceeding from the specified accuracy of the determined quantities was established through analytical methods.

In this article, we discuss a new smart alternating group explicit method based on off-step discretization for the solution of time dependent viscous Burgers' equation in rectangular coordinates. The convergence analysis for the new iteration method is discussed in details. We compared the results of Burgers' equation obtained by using the proposed iterative method with the results obtained by other iterative methods to demonstrate computationally the efficiency of the proposed method.


The author, in a former paper, read to the Society in February last, had discussed various objections which had been raised against his mode of geometric representation of the square roots of negative quantities. At that time he had only discovered geometrical repre­sentations for quantities of the form a + b √‒1, of geometrically adding and multiplying such quantities, and also of raising them to powers either whole or fractional, positive or negative; but he was at that time unable to represent geometrically quantities raised to powers, whose indices involve the square roots of negative quantities (such as a + b √‒1 m + n ). His attention has since been drawn to this latter class of quantities by a passage in M. Mourey’s work on this subject, which implied that that gentleman was in posses­sion of methods of representing them geometrically, but that he was at present precluded by circumstances from publishing his discoveries. The author was therefore induced to pursue his own investigations, and arrived at the general result stated by M. Mourey, that all algebraic quantities whatsoever are capable of geometrical representation by lines all situated in the same plane. The object of the present paper is to extend the geometrical representations stated in his former treatise, to the powers of quantities, whose indices involve the square roots of negative quantities. With this view he investigates Various equivalent formulæ suited to the particular cases, and employs a peculiar notation adapted to this express purpose ; but the nature of these investigations is such as renders them incapable of abridgement.


In this paper a (2j + l)-spinor analysis is developed along the lines of the 2-spinor and 3-spinor ones. We define generalized connecting quantities A μv (j) which transform like (j, 0) ⊗ (j -1, 0) in spinor space and like second rank tensors under transformations in space-time. The general properties of the A uv are investigated together with algebraic relations involving the Lorentz group generators, J μv . The connexion with 3j symbols is discussed. From a purely formal point of view we introduce a geometrical representation of a (2j +1)-spinor as a point in a 2j dimensional projective space. Then, for example, the charge con­jugate of a (2j + l)-spinor is just the polar of the corresponding point with respect to a certain rational, normal curve in the projective space. It is suggested that this representation will prove useful.

In this work a geometrical representation of equilibrium and near equilibrium statistical mechanics is proposed. Using a formalism consistent with the Bra-Ket notation and the definition of inner product as a Lebasque integral, we describe the macroscopic equilibrium states in classical statistical mechanics by “properly transformed probability Euclidian vectors” that point on a manifold of spherical symmetry. Furthermore, any macroscopic thermodynamic state “close” to equilibrium is described by a triplet that represent the “infinitesimal volume” of the points, the Euclidian probability vector at equilibrium that points on a hypersphere of equilibrium thermodynamic state and a Euclidian vector a vector on the tangent bundle of the hypersphere. The necessary and sufficient condition for such representation is expressed as an invertibility condition on the proposed transformation. Finally, the relation of the proposed geometric representation, to similar approaches introduced under the context of differential geometry, information geometry, and finally the Ruppeiner and the Weinhold geometries, is discussed. It turns out that in the case of thermodynamic equilibrium, the proposed representation can be considered as a Gauss map of a parametric representation of statistical mechanics.
