Sadi Carnot

This disproved the prevailing theory of heat at the time that had been developed by Laplace, Poisson, Sadi Carnot, and Clapeyron, i.e., that the heat in the universe is conserved and that heat in a substance is a function of the state of the substance.

Sadi Carnot (1796 – 1832) founded thermodynamics with his classic 1824 study of the efficiency of steam engines, Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire.

Sadi Carnot (1824), though still labouring under the caloric theory, advanced the problem substantially in his remarkable paper, "Réflexions sur la puissance motrice du feu", by considering the question of the relation of quantity of heat to amount of work done, and by introducing the conception of a machine with a reversible cycle of operations.

However, Sadi Carnot (1796-1832), the author of this new truth, still assumed the correctness of the theory of caloric.
