At such a degree of sensitivity, water is far from being at a constant temperature [...] Mouchot who, in the 1870ies carried out substantial re- search on using solar energy for industrial ma- chinery. Count Rumford and his work on heat Rumford’s work on heat covers a huge variety of researches; [...] a field that nowadays can be labeled ‘energy effi- ciency’, particularly with respect to different ma- terials.
