| Research Abstract |
1. the ratio dQ/T, "entropy" was introduced by the functional consideration, correspondeing to dU, both of which were the complete differentials in the case of a reversible process.
2. Clausius's functional approach to variables in physics played an important role during his whole research.
3. The entropy increase in the case of an irreversible process was noted by Clausius (1854) as the "uncompensirte Verwandlung" in connection with the thermal phenomenon namely, the quantity of heat flows from colder to warmer bodies.
4. In addition, Clausius's understanding of the irreversible process was based on his knowledge of mechanics, namely, there is a force whose work depends on its intermediate process, not only on its initial and final points (states).
5. Inspite of the fact that Clausius was the originater of the concept of entropy in the irreversible process, he was strongly influenced by the general reversible approach to physics, which was dominant during the 19th century (and the early 20th century too).
6. As Clausius obtained a particular case of Stokes' theorem with two variables (1850 ＆ 1864), his work should be studied along the development of mathematical physics as well as that of the theory of heat and the theory of gas.
7. Through the calculation of heat expended in the infinitesimal Carnot cycle (1850), the second oder differential (without the first order differential) was correctly recognized by Clausius.
8. The origin of this treatment went back to his own paper on the theory of light porpagation (1849), which was directly influenced by J. Foruier's work, the analytical theory of heat (1822). (2127189)
