The Second Law Of Thermodynamics: Memoirs By Carnot, Clausius And Thomson (1899)

""The Second Law of Thermodynamics: Memoirs by Carnot, Clausius and Thomson"" is a book written by W. F. Magie and published in 1899. The book is a collection of memoirs written by three prominent physicists - Sadi Carnot, Rudolf Clausius, and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) - who made significant contributions to the development of the second law of thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics is a fundamental principle in physics that describes the direction of energy flow in a system and the tendency of systems to move towards a state of maximum entropy. The memoirs in this book provide insight into the thought processes and experiments that led to the development of this important principle. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and researchers in the field of thermodynamics. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of this fundamental principle in physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
