Development of calorimetry and the caloric theory was the beginning of the quantitative study of heat, and the important stepping stone toward the mechanical theory of heat, the idea that heat is a form of energy.

Five years earlier, Antoine Lavoisier's head had been publicly removed by the French Revolutionary Tribunal. These two men defined our understanding of heat phenomena on the eve of the 19th century..." noted the mechanical engineer Lienhard .In 1789, Lavoisier published a treatise on chemistry which, among other things, recognized that the newly discovered chemical element of oxygen was involved in combust
