Under his father s tutelage until age 16, Sadi entered the Ecole Polytechnique (which his father had helped to found) to pursue a career in military engineering. However, the continued political turmoil, including his father s exile after the Battle of Waterloo, brought considerable disappointment and frustration to the self-effacing young military officer. He thereupon took retirement from active military service in 1818 to pursue personal studies in Paris, with roommate Hippolyte. Sadi s broad interests in mathematics, physics, chemistry, natural history, literature, music, and athletics were combined with... 

The question of possible limits on the production of work from heat engines was taken up brilliantly by a young French military engineer, Sadi Carnot (Sidebar 4.1). Carnot s monograph of 1824, Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire, pointed to the answers to these questions in a remarkably bold and incisive (if abstract) way. Carnot introduces the question of the motive power (ability to cause movement) of fire (heat) in its most general terms ... 

The most widely used turbine lubricants, by far, are the 5 cSt grades covered by US Navy specification MIL-PRF-23699 [11] and UK MoD specification Def Stan 91-101 [12]. The lubricants approved to the Def Stan happen to be a subset of those approved to the MIL specification that have passed the additional requirements for operation in the UK military engines. 

A workable steam car became a reality in 1769 when Nicholas Cugnot, a military engineer designed a steam-powered military truck that was capable of 6 miles per hour. A second and larger model had front-wheel drive with the boiler in front of the drive. In England, steam carriages were quickly adopted into public transportation.
