Caloric theory - History
In the history of thermodynamics, the initial explanations of heat were thoroughly confused with explanations of combustion. After J. J. Becher and Georg Ernst Stahl introduced the phlogiston theory of combustion in the 17th century, phlogiston was thought to be the substance of heat.

In his book Reflexions sur le phlogistique (1783), Lavoisier argued that phlogiston theory was inconsistent with his experimental results, and proposed caloric as the substance of heat.
