Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot, Father of Thermodynamics - ASME
Apr 10, 2012 · Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot, the son of high-ranking military leader Lazare Nicholas Marguerite Carnot, was born in Paris in 1796. His father resigned from the army in 1807 to educate Nicolas and his brother Hippolyte—both received a broad, home-based education that included science, art, language, and music.
The book’s author, Nicholas Léonard Sadi Carnot (1796–1832), a French engineer and physicist, published this book when he was only 28 years old. Two of the critical questions he sought to answer were whether using a substance besides steam might improve the performance of heat engines and whether heat engines could be
Carnot's Reflection on the Motive of Fire & Power - ASME
Nicholas Sadi Carnot's Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire and on Machines Fitted to Develop that Power, published in France in 1824, was among the earliest attempts to understand and explain the theory of heat engines. Essentially, Carnot sought to answer two critical questions: whether using a substance besides steam might improve the ...
Commonwealth Building Heat Pump - ASME
The theoretical conception of the heat pump was described in a neglected book, published in 1824 and written by a young French army officer, Sadi Carnot. Its practical application on a large scale is attributable to designers J. Donald Kroeker and Ray C. Chewning, building engineer Charles E. Graham, and architect Pietro Belluschi.

Graham, and architect Pietro Belluschi. In 1948 if one were to predict the site of the first commercial heat pump installation in the US, Portland, Oregon would probably
Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius - ASME
Apr 11, 2012 · German physicist and mathematician Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius is considered one of the principal founders of the science of thermodynamics, building on the work of Sadi Carnot and others. He better defined the first and second laws of thermodynamics and introduced the concept of entropy.
Heat, Work, and the First Law of Thermodynamics - ASME
Dec 28, 2010 · Newton’s First Law of Thermodynamics—that energy can neither be created nor destroyed—was built upon the research of earlier scientists. For example, James Joule identified heat as a form of energy ha

New Refrigeration Method Relies on Ionocaloric Cooling - ASME
Jul 18, 2023 · The biggest surprise for Prasher was on the theoretical side. When they calculated the maximum achievable efficiency of the ionocaloric cycle, the researchers saw numbers that hovered around 90 percent to 95 percent relative to Carnot (ideal thermodynamic cycle).
