History of Thermodynamics
This book contains three classic papers about the founding of thermodynamics.

Sadi Carnot, a French physicist who founded the science of thermodynamics, published his classic work, "Reflections on the Motive Power of Heat," in 1824.Carnot reviewed the industrial, political and economic impact and importance of the steam engine invented by James Watt. In this paper, Carnot evaluated the efficiency of steam engines and sought a theory based on known principles that could be applied to all engines. Carnot concluded that "no engine operating between two heat reservoirs can be more efficient than a Carnot engine operating between the same reservoirs", a statement now known as Carnot's theorem.

Emile Cladeyron, "Memoir on the Motive Power of Heat," 1834, expanded and developed the concepts introduced by Sadi Carnot.

Rudolf Clausius, a German theoretical physicist, "On the Motive Power of Heat and one the laws which can be deduced from it for the theory of heat," 1850, formalized the second law of thermodynamics and introduced the concept the entropy, based partially on the work of Sadi Carnot and Caldeyron.

Seminal in the truest sense
Carnot was one of the original, original thinkers. His work gave birth to modern day thermodynamics. Sadi Carnot is one of the giants on whose shoulders we stand. ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot (né le 1 juin 1796 et mort le 24 août 1832), usuellement appelé Sadi Carnot, est un physicien et ingénieur français. À l'instar de Copernic, il ne publia qu'un seul livre, les Réflexions sur la puissance motrice du feu et sur les machines propres à développer cette puissance (Paris, 1824), dans lequel il exprima, à l'âge de 27 ans, ce qui s'avéra être le travail de sa vie. Dans cet ouvrage il posa les bases d'une discipline entièrement nouvelle, la thermodynamique. À l'époque d'ailleurs, le terme n'existait pas et c'est William Thomson qui l'inventa au milieu du siècle. Pourtant c'est bien Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot, malgré l'imprécision de certains de ses concepts, son acceptation de la théorie du calorique et de l'axiome de la conservation de la chaleur, qui a créé cette science aussi fondamentale du point de vue théorique que féconde en applications pratiques. Il formula l'exposé raisonné du moteur thermique et les principes de bases selon lesquels toute centrale énergétique, toute automobile, tout moteur à réaction est aujourd'hui conçu. Plus remarquable, cette genèse se fit alors même qu'aucun prédécesseur n'eût encore défini la nature et l'étendue du sujet. En s'appuyant sur des préoccupations purement techniciennes, comme l'amélioration des performances de la machine à vapeur, le cheminement intellectuel de Sadi Carnot est original et annonce des évolutions importantes qui intervinrent à cette époque charnière pour la science moderne.

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Sadi Carnot, né le 11 août 1837 à Limoges et mort le 25 juin 1894 à Lyon, de son nom complet Marie François Sadi Carnot, est un homme d'État français. Il fut président de la République du 3 décembre 1887 au 25 juin 1894, date de son assassinat. Il a précédemment occupé les fonctions de haut fonctionnaire, de député de la Côte-d'Or, de préfet de la Seine-Inférieure, de sous-secrétaire d'État aux Travaux, de ministre des Travaux publics et de ministre des Finances. Plaque du boulevard Carnot, à LimogesSadi Carnot est le fils de Lazare Hippolyte Carnot, le petit-fils de Lazare Carnot (le Grand Carnot), neveu de l'autre Sadi Carnot, le frère de Marie-Adolphe Carnot et le père d'Ernest Carnot. C'est à son grand-père, que Carnot doit son prénom de Sadi. Lazare, avant d'être révolutionnaire (organisateur de la victoire en 1793), était humaniste, et grand admirateur du poète persan Saadi de Shiraz, chantre des femmes, du vin et des roses. Il décida que ce prénom serait porté par son fils aîné, qui disparut prématurément à l'âge de 36 ans. Portrait par Théobald Chartran.Il est l'élève du lycée Condorcet puis de l'École Polytechnique (Promotion X1857) et enfin de l'École des ponts et chaussées dont il sort major en 1863. Après ses études, il devient ingénieur en chef de la Haute-Savoie, où il conçoit et fait construire vers 1874 le fameux système de régulation de la sortie des eaux du lac d'Annecy, communément appelé « les vannes du Thiou ».
