The mechanical theory of heat Rudolf Clausius
At last I'm able to read Clausius' own train of thought when deriving the concept of Entropy and at last, too, the ideas made "click", for Thermodynamics is such a strange science -simply put, it uses a motor to extract a fundamental law of nature- that I had to "hear" the voice one of the original actors of the incredible mise en scene of this body of knowledge.Up to now, I always had a strange feeling when reading about the second law: that even though I could understand it, I was unable of "making it mine", probably because I couldn't form the idea of how somebody could have thought about infinitely close Carnot engines, the obtaining of Q/T and Equivalence of Transformations, to mention a few of his concepts.
All the deductions in modern books -although based on Clausius ideas- seemed artificial. Even after devouring Cardwell's From Watt to Clausius: The Rise of Thermodynamics in the Early Industrial Age (History of Science and Technology Reprint Series) my feelings didn't changed. Now, I'm relieved because I can follow him with peace of mind, knowing that there existed such a person, such a mind and such concomitant chain of thoughts.
¿Could that be done again, in the same way, in October of 2009 and beyond?
In my search of his original papers in a language that I could read (Spanish or English), the closest I had arrived was in Magie's, A Source Book in Physics (Source Books in the History of the Sciences) but to my dismay, when he presents Clausius' paper on Entropy,(page 234),just in the most important part where I was expecting to see the author's mathematical deduction,as in a surreal dream, Magie does not include them and begins straight out with "We obtain the equation..."
The Holy Grail of Understanding was once more aparted after barely seeing its shadow and I had to wait many more years to drink from it.

The mechanical theory of heat Rudolf Clausius Reviews
This reprint was produced by OCR (Optical Character Recognition) not true graphical scanning, so most of the equations are turned into unreadable nonsense. For example
p 44, column (a) “For s we have the following equation, obtained from (37) by neglecting a- E(a+t)...,.1N 8 = – 'x.(m-ndet) (41). ap' “
p 46, column (a) “ Equation (60) now becomes pdv = d(map) – d(mp) – McdT - -dm(p-up-MCdT... ….
Integrating this equation we obtain W = ml(Pl-ttjO -m(P-up) + MC (T.-T)”
Most of this work is text not equations, so this version may still have some value for some readers, but for serious study it is unusable.
This is a great book by one of the founders of the science of thermodynamics. It should be read by every one wishing to understand the very underpinning concepts of thermodynamics.
As with the volume by Maxwell, this is lost in transition to e-book format, with incomprehensible typos and none of the accompanying formulas, rendering it gibberish.
This is an unreadable document which I tried to read. The equations are in some odd format, the text just rambles on and there is no way to figure out what is where. It is a shame since this could be a useful historical document. I regret having purchased this and it was a total waste!
