"[H]eat which is generated in the combustion of the fuel exists under two... distinct... forms. One... is combined with the smoke, vapour, and heated air which rise from the burning fuel, and goes off with them into the... atmosphere; ...the other part, which appears to be uncombined, or... supposed, combined only with light, is sent off from the fire in rays in all possible directions."
