Distinguished for his researches in capillarity (21 papers), evaporation, physical chemistry, galvanometry and specific heat. His most important papers are : Photographic measurements of drops and bubbles (1912-13); Surface tension of liquids in contact with gases (1914), of small quantities of liquids (1923 and 1929), of liquid crystals and of heavy water (1937); Evaporation from water (1917); Dilution equations (1925-7); Fluxmeter and galvanometer constants (1928); New and precise method of determining specific heat of liquids and their temperature variation (1934); Application to ordinary and heavy water (1937). |
