Re: Temperature dilution

Paul,

If you are reducing the problem to a few components you should include
phlogiston, given to us in the 17th century by Johann Joachim Becher and
popularized by Georg Ernst Stahl. Phlogiston is "the matter and principle of
fire, contained in all metals and combustible bodies, and given up in
burning or calcination." (McCann, H. Gilman. Chemistry Transformed: the
Paradigmatic Shift From Phlogiston to Oxygen. Norwood: Ablex, 1978.)

There you have it all in one bundle.

Tom
