May 29, 2018 · Clausius, Rudolf Julius Emanuel (1822–88) German physicist, regarded as the founder of thermodynamics. Using the work of Sadi Carnot, Clausius formulated the second law of thermodynamics that heat cannot pass from a colder to a hotter object. He also introduced the term entropy.
German physicist, who held teaching posts in Berlin and Zurich, before going to Würzburg in 1869. He is best known for formulating the second law of thermodynamics in 1850, independently of William Thomson (Lord Kelvin).
