HEAT ENGINE THEORY IN THE WORKS OF S. CARNOT AND B. CLAPEYRON
Abstract
The article discusses the achievements and contributions to the development of classical thermodynamics of S. Carnot and B. Сlapeyron. It is shown that, based on misconceptions about the nature of heat, using a number of analogies, S. Carnot was able to obtain the correct phenomenological theory of an ideal heat engine. The published book and diaries of S. Carnot allow us to state that for the first time he formulated not only the second, but also the first law of thermodynamics. The merit of B. Сlapeyron is the further development of the ideas of S. Carnot. Based on the original sources, the article draws attention to the discrepancy between the names of well-known laws and the authors who discovered them for the first time. The united gas law was first obtained by S. Carnot. Сlapeyron used this law in his work, but he did not introduce anything new into it.
