• The Impact of Climate Change on Nuclear Power Supply (2011, background): “According to Carnot’s theorem (Carnot and Thurston, 1890), the theoretical maximum efficiency, , of a heat engine can be expressed as: gC”
• Entropy in dynamical systems (2003, methodology): “The idea was inspired by an earlier formulation by French physicist and mathematician Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot [Carnot, 1824] of what is now known as the Second Law of Thermodynamics: entropy represents the energy no longer capable to perform work, and in any isolated system it can only grow.”
• Historical review of internal state variable theory for inelasticity (2010, background): “The inelastic internal state variable (ISV) theory owes much of its development to the early thermodynamic works of Carnot (1824), Joule (1843), and Clausius (1850), which later lead to the development of state variable thermodynamics constructed by Helmholtz (1847), Maxwell (1875), Kelvin Thomson…”
