Apr 1, 2013 · Rudolph Clausius (1822–1888) played an important role in advancing the theory of heat during the 19th century. His contributions concerned the development of the two fundamental principles of heat as well as the microscopic approach of kinetic theory where he introduced the new concept of the mean free path.
A distinguished natural scientist of the 19th century, Rudolph Clausius was professor of physics at the University of Bonn for two decades, until his death. He discovered the second law of thermodynamics and invented the concept of entropy.
