- 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.

Dec 11, 2022 · Abstract. Rudolph Clausius is well known as a pioneer of the mechanical theory of heat (1857) and as the creator of the concept of entropy (1865). Oftentimes, he is also called the discoverer of the second law of thermodynamics although some argue that this law was already established by Sadi Carnot in 1824 (while still based on the caloric ...

Jan 24, 2022 · Rudolph Clausius, the University of Bonn’s second professor of physics from 1869-1888, decisively shaped human insight into the development of the material world with his mechanical theory of heat and the concept of "entropy" – giving us the decisive clue as to why time has a direction.
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.
