Respected Principal, teachers and friends

Good morning to all of you

I am (……………) of class…………..

Today we are going to listen about Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot. Today is the death anniversary of Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot. He was a French mechanical engineer in the French Army, military scientist and physicist, and often described as the "father of thermodynamics." He published only one book, the Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire, in which he expressed the first successful theory of the maximum efficiency of heat engines and laid the foundations of the new discipline: thermodynamics. 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. Based on purely technical concerns, such as improving the performance of the steam engine, Sadi Carnot's intellect laid the groundwork for modern science technological designs, such as the automobile or jet engine.

As we remember the life of Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnotlet us also give more importance to our studies and contribute something for our society.

Thank You
