(Montaje de Clement y Desormes
para medir la densidad del aire)
CHARLES BERNARD DESORMES (Dijon,
1777-Verberie, 1862) French physicist and
chemist whose principal contribution
was to determine experimentally the ratio of the specific heats of gases.
He did this and almost all
of his scientific work in colaboration
with his son-in-law Nicolas Clément (1779-1841). Clément
and Désormes published their most
famous work on specific heat in
1819.
