Reflections On The Motive Power Of Heat Accompanied By An Account Of Carnot's Theory (1890)

""Reflections On The Motive Power Of Heat: Accompanied By An Account Of Carnot�������s Theory"" is a scientific text written by French physicist Nicolas L�����onard Sadi Carnot in 1824, which was later translated into English in 1890. The book is a detailed analysis of the principles of thermodynamics and their application to engines that convert heat into work. The text includes an explanation of Carnot's theory of the ideal heat engine, which is considered a cornerstone of thermodynamics. Carnot's work laid the foundation for the development of the second law of thermodynamics, which states that heat will always flow from a hotter body to a cooler one. The book is a seminal work in the field of thermodynamics and is considered essential reading for anyone interested in the history and development of this important scientific discipline.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
