Julius Robert von Mayer

Julius Rober von Mayer (1814-1878) was German physicist, born in Heilbronn. He made a special study of the phenomena of heat, established the numerical relation between heat and work, and propounded the theory of the production and maintenance of the sun's temperature. He had a controversy as to the priority of his discoveries with Joule, who claimed to have anticipated them.
