Benoit Paul Emile Clapeyron (1799-1864). French engineer. Clapeyron made contributions to die diermodynamic aspects of steam engines. 

Benoit Paul Emile Clapeyron, bom Feb. 26, 1799, in Paris, France, died Jan. 28, 1864, in Paris, France. 

This equality was derived in 1834 by Benoit Paul Emile Clapeyron (1799-1864) and boiled down to 1 mole in 1874 by Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleyev (1834-1907). In connection with this it is called Clapeyron - Mendeleyev equation. It describes a model of state of the ideal gas. According to it the values partial pressure and concentrations individual components in underground gas can be tied between themselves equations ...

Benoit Paul Emile Clapeyron (1799-1864) A French engineer and physicist and one of the founders of thermodynamics. In 1843, Clapeyron further developed the idea of a reversible process, already suggested by Carnot, and made a definitive statement of Carnot s principle, which is now known as the second law of thermodynamics. Clapeyron also worked on the characterization of perfect gases, the calculation of the statics of continuous beams, and on phase transitions, Eq. (3.1.45). 

First stated by Benoit Paul Emile Clapeyron in 1834, the ideal gas law, an extraordinary and remarkably simple equation that has since guided understanding of gas thermodynamics, was originally derived empirically. With statistical thermodynamics the ideal gas law is derived theoretically from simple first principles and statistical arguments.
