Angelo Battelli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Angelo Battelli (1862 - 1916) was an Italian scientist, notable for having measured temperatures and heats of fusion of non-metallic substances, metallic conductivities and thermoelectric effects in magnetic metals, and the Thomson effect. He investigated osmotic pressures surface tensions, and physical properties of CS2, H2O, and alcohols, especially their vapor pressures, critical points, and densities. He studied X-rays and cathode rays. He investigated the resistance of solenoids to high frequency AC currents.

He was the doctoral advisor of Luigi Puccianti.

Battelli obtained his PhD in 1884 from the university of Turin under Andrea Naccari.
