Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius (German pronunciation: [ˈʁuːdɔlf ˈklaʊ̯zi̯ʊs]; [1] [2] 2 January 1822 – 24 August 1888) was a German physicist and mathematician and is considered one of the central founding fathers of the science of thermodynamics. [3]
Clausius was a German patriot and, although he was nearing 50 years of age, he offered his services to his country in the Franco-Prussian war which had broken out. The German forces were far stronger than the French had imagined and soon the French army was in retreat.
Apr 1, 2013 · Rudolph Clausius (1822–1888) played an important role in advancing the theory of heat during the 19th century. His contributions concerned the development of the two fundamental principles of heat as well as the microscopic approach of kinetic theory where he introduced the new concept of the mean free path.

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 considered, along with Lord Kelvin, to be one of the originators of the second law of thermodynamics. Clausius reanalyzed the earlier work of Carnot on the efficiency of steam engines, taking into account the conversion of heat energy into mechanical work.
Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius (January 2, 1822 – August 24, 1888), was a German physicist and mathematician who was among the first to clearly formulate the fundamental principles of thermodynamics.
