I have a question about the pronunciation of the name Joule. During my studies in physics Joule was pronounced like owl, bowl, fowl. Recently I only hear pronunciations like fool, tool. I'm interested to know how the name of Joule was pronounced and whether Joule as unit of energy is pronounced the same. 130.89.221.222 22:30, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Added footnote, as the IPA was again wrong. kwami ( talk) 02:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
This website [1] claims that J.P. Joule was born in his families Salford Brewery. Does this source meet a high enough standard to be included? Quasilogic 12:56, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
Should Joule be added to Westminster Abbey Burials? -- John Bracegirdle 22:16, 16 May 2004 (UTC)
this is a very useful page indeed it explains all the things he study with links to different pages please dome here
As a local, I was always led to believe that Joule was buried in Brooklands Cemetery in Sale (though I've not seen the grave myself) but it states here he's buried in Westminster Abbey. I'll try to find out for sure. Richard Barlow 13:03, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
A quick scoot through the net reveals a difference of opinion about this! Most of the sites listing Westminster Abbey as his burial place seem to have similar wording and presumably came from the same source as this article. Other sources state he was buried in his local cemetery in Sale with a bronze bust and 772.55 inscribed on his headstone (The amount of work in ft lb Joule determined experimentally to be required to raise the temperature of 1 lb of water by 1° Fahrenheit). This article (and the similar versions) also states that Dalton is buried in Westminster Abbey as well. I have found a biography which suggests John Dalton was buried in Ardwick Cemetery in Manchester! My gut feeling is that these two great men have memorials in the abbey but the bones remained up north. Anyone have any more info? Richard Barlow 13:50, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I've checked Westminster Abbey's site - surprisingly it only has a partial list of burials so this isn't the final word but the only scientists they list as being buried there are Newton, Darwen, Kelvin, Rutherford and Thomson. Richard Barlow 15:39, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The Westminster Abbey site provides an email address for enquiries regarding burials in the abbey. I will drop them a line about this. Meanwhile I will remove the disputed data. Richard Barlow 10:42, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Official confirmation received: Neither Joule or Dalton are buried in Westminster Abbey. Joule has a memorial there but Dalton doesn't. Thanks are due to Christine Reynolds at the abbey for clearing this up so promptly. Richard Barlow 15:13, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Is this true? Surely, the time Thomson (sic) was working on absolute temperature was 1847- 1848 while he was still defending the caloric theory and he and Joule were at odds. The collaboration was all about conservation of energy once the pair's thinking was reconciled in 1852- 1856. Does someone have a source for the claim? Cutler 22:42, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
Considered by whom? Surely Clausius worked on the second law, Joule on the first. Cutler 09:46, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

The formula for the mechanical equivalent of heat seems to come out of nowhere and to be "orphaned" with little explanation. Also, my guess is that the "1 cal" is inappropriate since Joule probably used different units. Perhaps someone can clear this up, if only the editing. I may try if I can get time. - Astrochemist 01:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Should the opening read "...Joule, FRS" or "Joule FRS" or something different? Several variations now exist in Wikipedia articles on British scientists. Anyone have the definitive answer? It would be nice to have uniformity. - I'm leaving a similar comment on the Humphry Davy talk page. Astrochemist ( talk) 13:26, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
I heard that his name should really be pronounced 'Jowl' rather than the way it is commonly proounced, can anyone cite this and if it is correct would it be woorth mentioning.

The article states:
Thomson wrote that "the conversion of heat (or caloric) into mechanical effect is probably impossible, certainly undiscovered"
I don't understand. Steam engines were in use and they convert heat into mechanical effect.

It is said here that Helmoltz in 1847 credited both Joule and Mayer. This is in contradiction with Hermann Helmholtz#Mechanics. If we suppose that the page on Helmoltz is better informed about Helmoltz than a page on Joule, the assertion here would be false. -- Dominique Meeùs ( talk) 16:40, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
In the section "Reception and Priority" is a reference to Sibum (1994). There is no additional information given about what work is cited. Is the reference to the 1995 article (paper?) by H. O. Sibum listed under "Further Reading"?

It is not true that the modern revival of the Joule trademarks is related to James Prescott Joule's family brewery of Salford.
James Prescott Joule is descended from William Joule of Salford, whose family brewery was at New Bailey Street.
The famous Joule brewery of Stone, Staffordshire, purchased by Bass and shut down entirely, is antecedent of the modern incarnation. The Stone brewery was founded by Francis Joule, brother of William. When James Prescott Joule was born, the Stone brewery was owned and operated by his father's cousin, John Joule. Despite sharing a family name, the Salford and Stone breweries had been entirely separate and distinct for decades prior.
The reference to the modern Joule brewery has therefore been removed. 24.68.80.249 ( talk) 18:34, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
