[PAR] [TLE] Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot [SEP] Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot (] ; 1 June 1796 – 24 August 1832) was a French military engineer and physicist, often described as the "father of thermodynamics".  In his only publication, the 1824 monograph "Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire", Carnot gave the first successful theory of the maximum efficiency of heat engines. Carnot's work attracted little attention during his lifetime, but it was later used by Rudolf Clausius and Lord Kelvin to formalize the second law of thermodynamics and define the concept of entropy. [PAR] [TLE] Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire [SEP] Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire and on Machines Fitted to Develop that Power is a book published in 1824 by French physicist Sadi Carnot.  The 118-page book's French title was "Réflexions sur la puissance motrice du feu et sur les machines propres à développer cette puissance".  It is a significant publication in the history of thermodynamics about a generalized theory of heat engines.
