Carnot, Nicolas Leonard Sadi (1796-1832)AFrenchphysicistwhobeganhlscareer as a military engineer before turning to scientific research. In 1824 he published a book Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire, which provided for the first lime a general theoretical approach to understanding the conditions under which the efficiency of heat engines could be maximized. The thermodynamic Carnot cycle eventoally led to the concept of entropy. He died aged 36 from cholera.

Sadi Carnot (full name Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot, Sadi after a Persian poet) was bom into one of the most emdite and influential families of the turbulent Napoleonic period. Sadi s father, Lazare Carnot, was a leading scientist and mathematician of his time, as well as a noted military commander who achieved high ministerial office under Napoleon. The father s profound intellectual influence on Sadi is apparent from parallels between Lazare s 1803 treatise, Fundamental Principles of Equilibrium and Movement, and Sadi s famous 1824 monograph, Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire (Reflexions sur la puissance motrice du feu), which applied similarly general and abstract analysis to purely mechanical and thermomechanical devices, respectively. Among other accomplishments of this remarkable family, Sadi s younger brother, Hippolyte, became a noted writer and statesman, and the latter s eldest son, Marie Francois Sadi Carnot, later became a president of the Third Republic. 

Professor Nicolas L. S. Carnot, in the late nineteenth century, realized that the area inside the plot of pressure vs. volume represented the work needed to compress gas in a reciprocating compressor. In other words, the change of pressure, multiplied by the change in volume, is equal to the work done by the piston on the gas. Professor Carnot called this PV (pressure vs. volume) work. He then used calculus to sum up the area inside the lines shown in Fig. 29.2. The total area is now called ideal compression work.

In 1824 Sadi Nicolas Leonard Carnot (1796-1832) published an analysis of what became known as the Carnot cycle in his book entitled Reflexion sur la Puissance. Motrice (hi Feu el sur les Machines Prvpres Diiielopper Celle Puissance, where also he introduced the concept of a nonmolecular fluid, the caloric, as the working substance of heat engines. 

Nicolas-Leonard-Sadi Carnot was born in 1796 in Paris. He is known as the fether of thermodynamics. Originally a military engineer, he developed a keen interest in industry and especially the steam engine. He took a leave of absence from the military to devote more time to pursuing these interests.

Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot, the French engineer and physicist, was bom in Paris in 1796. His father, Lazare Nicolas Marguerite Carnot, was in the French military service. Sadi Camot is considered as the founder of modem thermodynamics. Famous for his invaluable contributions to science and thermodynamics, Sadi Camot was honored with the title Father of Thermodynamics. Some of his noteworthy contributions to thermodynamics are the concepts of Camot heat engine, Camot cycle, Carnot s theorem, Camot efficiency, and reversible cycle. 

Carnot cycle The most efficient cycle of operations for a reversible heat engine. Published in 1824 by Nicolas Carnot, it consists of four operations on the working substance in the engine (see illustration) ... 

Carnot s father was the engineer Lazare Nicolas Carnot, who had been a war minister under Napoleon and was known as the Organizer of Victory. Sadi Carnot was educated by his father until he entered the Polytechnique. During the Napoleonic wars he volunteered to fight, though he was exempt as a student. When the Restoration exiled his father, Sadi found his military career hampered by politics. He went on half-pay and resumed his engineering studies. 

Nicolas Lranard Sadi Camot (1796-1832). French [Aysicist. Son of a famous French general, Carnot was a pioneer in the study of the relationship between heat and mechanical work. 

Carnot cycle The idealized reversible cycle of four operations occurring in a perfect heat engine. These are the successive adiabatic compression, isothermal expansion, adiabatic expansion, and isothermal compression of the working substance. The cycle returns to its initial pressure, volume, and temperature, and transfers energy to or from mechanical work. The efficiency of the Carnot cycle is the maximum attainable in a heat engine. It was published in 1824 by the French physicist Nicolas L. S. Carnot (1796-1832). See Carnot s principle. 

The vapor-compression cycle was first used by French engineer Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot in 1824. Then in 1832, American inventor Jacob Perkins was the first to demonstrate a compression cooling technology that used ether as a refrigerant. But it was in 1852 that Scottish engineer William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin, conceptualized the first heat pump system, dubbed the heat multiplier. ... 

In 1824, a French military engineer named Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot (his third name is borrowed from a Persian poet, and his surname is pronounced kar-NO) published an article that ultimately played a major—though roundabout—role in the development of thermodynamics. It was ignored at the time. The first law of thermodynamics had not even been established yet, and heat was still thought of as caloric. It was not until 1848 that Lord Kelvin brought the attention of the scientific world to the work, 16 years after Carnot s early death at age 36. However, the article introduced a lasting concept, the definition of the Carnot cycle.
