Rudolf Clausius cytaty

Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius – fizyk niemiecki. Jeden z twórców zasad termodynamiki.

Profesor uniwersytetów w Zurychu i Bonn. Prowadził prace z zakresu termodynamiki i kinetyki gazów. Wprowadził pojęcie entropii i precyzyjnie sformułował II zasadę termodynamiki . Opracował teorię polaryzacji dielektryków. Współpracował z Maxwellem nad kinetyczną teorią gazów.

Clausius opublikował szesnaście dużych prac naukowych. Pierwsza, i jednocześnie najsłynniejsza jego praca, ukazała się w 1850 roku. Nosiła tytuł O motorycznej sile ciepła i o prawach, które można wywnioskować stąd na potrzeby teorii ciepła. Był to początek cyklu prac, które ostatecznie doprowadziły go do zdefiniowania pojęcia entropii i sformułowania drugiej zasady termodynamiki. Praca ta uważana jest za początek nowoczesnej termodynamiki.

W 1868 roku został wybrany członkiem londyńskiego Towarzystwa Królewskiego , a w 1879 roku otrzymał prestiżową nagrodę tego towarzystwa, tzw. "Copley Medal". Wikipedia

Rudolf Clausius: Cytaty po angielsku

“The careful experiments of Joule, who developed heat in various ways by the application of mechanical force, establish almost to a certainty, not only the possibility of increasing the quantity of heat, but also the fact that the newly-produced heat is proportional to the work expended in its production.”

First Memoir.
The Mechanical Theory of Heat (1867)

“The steam-engine having furnished us with a means of converting heat into a motive power, and our thoughts being thereby led to regard a certain quantity of work as an equivalent for the amount of heat expended in its production, the idea of establishing theoretically some fixed relation between a quantity of heat and the quantity of work which it can possibly produce, from which relation conclusions regarding the nature of heat itself might be deduced, naturally presents itself. Already, indeed, have many successful efforts been made with this view; I believe, however, that they have not exhausted the subject, but that, on the contrary, it merits the continued attention of physicists… The most important investigation in connexion with this subject is that of S. Carnot.”

First Memoir. On the Moving Force of Heat and the Laws which may be Deduced Therefrom
The Mechanical Theory of Heat (1867)

“My memoirs "On the Mechanical Theory of Heat" are of different kinds. Some are devoted to the development of the general theory and to the application thereof to those properties of bodies which are usually treated of in the doctrine of heat. Others have reference to the application of the mechanical theory of heat to electricity. …Other memoirs… have reference to the conceptions I have formed of the molecular motions which we call heat. These conceptions, however, have no necessary connexion with the general theory, the latter being based solely on certain principles which may be accepted without adopting any particular view as to the nature of molecular motions. I have therefore kept the consideration of molecular motions quite distinct from the exposition of the general theory.”

Preface (August, 1864)
The Mechanical Theory of Heat (1867)

“If for the entire universe we conceive the same magnitude to be determined, consistently and with due regard to all circumstances, which for a single body I have called entropy, and if at the same time we introduce the other and simpler conception of energy, we may express in the following manner the fundamental laws of the universe which correspond to the two fundamental theorems of the mechanical theory of heat.
1. The energy of the universe is constant.
2. The entropy of the universe tends to a maximum.”

Ninth Memoir. On Several Convenient Forms of the Fundamental Equations of the Mechanical Theory of Heat.
The Mechanical Theory of Heat (1867)

“Many facts have lately transpired which tend to overthrow the hypothesis that heat is itself a body, and to prove that it consists in a motion of the ultimate particles of bodies. If this be so, the general principles of mechanics may be applied to heat; this motion may be converted into work, the loss of vis viva in each particular case being proportional to the quantity of work produced.
These circumstances, of which Carnot was also well aware, and the importance of which he expressly admitted, pressingly demand a comparison between heat and work, to be undertaken with reference to the divergent assumption that the production of work is not only due to an alteration in the distribution of heat, but to an actual consumption thereof; and inversely, that by the expenditure of work, heat may be produced.”
