Carnot's contribution to thermodynamics
Martin J. Klein
Physics Today 27 (8), 23–28 (1974); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3128802

At first almost ignored and unread, Sadi Carnot's analysis of heat engines—published 150 years ago—contained ideas and methods that were to be developed later by Clausius and Thomson.
