National Thermal Engineer Day celebrates the science and its pioneer, Frenchman Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot (June 1, 1796 - Aug. 24, 1832).
Considered the Father of Thermodynamics, Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot lived for just 36 years between 1796 and 1832. His theories, today referred to as the Carnot Cycle and first published in his 1824 book "Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire," focused upon the idea of a heat-driven engine. With such an engine, the gas expands and creates energy through piston movement. His work impacted the Industrial Revolution, contributing to the creation of the diesel engine, and later supplied the foundation for the discovery of the second law of Thermodynamics: total entropy (disorder) of a system never decreases through time.
