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.

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. 

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.
