The 15 pages that link to Rudolf Clausius, each with the reason it gives.

• ThermodynamicsRelated: His work gave the field a quantitative account of irreversible change.

• Second law of thermodynamicsRelated: He stated that heat does not spontaneously flow from cold to hot and defined entropy.

• Kinetic theory of gasesRelated: He formalized molecular motion and introduced the mean free path.

• Virial theoremRelated: Clausius formulated the theorem in 1870 while studying the kinetic theory of gases.

• Carnot's theoremRelated: Clausius gave Carnot's limit a formulation grounded in entropy and the second law.

• Josiah Willard GibbsRelated: Clausius’s thermodynamic foundations preceded and informed Gibbs’s more general treatment.

• Equilibrium thermodynamicsRelated: His formulations supplied central principles for equilibrium descriptions.

• William John Macquorn RankineRelated: Clausius’s formulation provides a useful comparison with Rankine’s approach to thermodynamic laws.

• History of thermodynamicsRelated: He gave the second law its influential general formulation and named entropy.

• Carnot heat engineRelated: Clausius recast Carnot’s results using the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

• Laws of thermodynamicsRelated: He gave the laws a clear statement about heat flow and entropy.

• Nicolas Léonard Sadi CarnotRelated: Clausius recast Carnot’s heat-engine insights using the concept of entropy.

• Thermodynamic equationsRelated: His work shaped the equations for entropy and reversible heat.
