Literary notes about Calorific (AI summary)
The term "calorific" has been applied in literature to denote aspects of energy, whether in a physical or nutritional context. In scientific discussions, authors have used it to characterize different forms of energy emissions and behaviors; for example, it describes the emanation of diverse, colored rays from various energy sources ([1]) and is featured in experimental setups investigating both the luminous and heating effects of currents ([2], [3]). Additionally, the term is succinctly highlighted in headings such as "Calorific Properties" ([4]) and in analyses concerning the absorption of calorific radiations ([5]). In nutritional literature, "calorific value" specifically refers to the energy content provided by food substances, with discussions noting the contribution of protein, fat, and lactose to this value in coffee ([6], [7]). This dual usage underscores its versatility, bridging the realms of experimental physics and dietary science.
- The calorific radiations emanating from different sources, have all the characters of differently colored heterogeneous rays of light.
— from The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America by Thomas Jefferson - Experiments on the calorific and luminous actions of currents.
— from The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America by Thomas Jefferson - Leading experiments on calorific radiation.
— from The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America by Thomas Jefferson - 5. Calorific Properties.
— from The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America by Thomas Jefferson - Analysis of calorific radiations by absorption.
— from The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America by Thomas Jefferson - This has quite an appreciable content of protein and fat, both substances of high calorific value.
— from All About Coffee by William H. Ukers - However, upon addition of sugar and of milk or cream, with their content of protein, fat, and lactose, the calorific value of the cup of coffee rises.
