RUDOLF CLAUSIUS

Rudolf Clausius was a German physicist and mathematician, widely recognized as one of the founders of the field of thermodynamics. Born on January 2, 1822, and passing away on August 24, 1888, Clausius made significant contributions to science, particularly through his formulation of the second law of thermodynamics and the concept of entropy. His work laid the groundwork for understanding the principles governing heat, energy, and the behavior of gases. Clausius’s pioneering research has had a lasting impact on both theoretical and applied physics.
