Apparatus Joulianus ad metiendum mechanicum caloris par.

Iacobus Prescott Joule, Socius Societatis Regalis (natus Salford Lancastriae, 24 Decembris 1818; mortuus Sale Lancastriae, 11 Octobris 1889), fuit physicus et braxator cervisiae Anglicus. Naturae caloris studuit, cuius coniunctionem cum labore mechanico invenit (vide energiam). Haec inventio ad doctrinam conservatio energiae duxit, quae ad evolutionem primae legis thermodynamicae vicissim duxit. Joulium, unitas ISI energiae ex eo appellatur. Cum Domino Kelvin ad evolvendum absolutum temperaturae gradum conlaboravit, magnetostrictionem investigavit, atque coniunctionem fluxionis electricae per resistentiam et caloris dissipati, nunc primam legem Joulianam appellatam, excogitavit.

Monimentum Iacobo Joule dedicatum, Sale (prope Mancunium, Anglia)

Fuit filius Beniamini Joule (1784–1858).
