Re: Nicholas Moller on Langmuir

T.B. > Sorry, I'm slow; but, I finally read the referenced paper 
from JLN's web page.  If I read it correctly (I hate it when 
Europeans use periods instead of commas), the dissociation energy 
of H2 is 103 cal/gram-mole while the recombination energy is 
90,000 cal/gram-mole giving a COP of about 874.

Is this right?


In a word, no.

I think someone musta left out a "k" ... or else was on the diet 
of worms..   ;-) ...   as the dietary Calorie (the oft-neglected 
use of upper case 'C') equals 1000 'physics' calories.
