Biographie de qualité

Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot (né le 1er juin 1796 et mort le 24 août 1832), usuellement appelé Sadi Carnot, était un physicien et ingénieur français.
À l’instar de Copernic, il ne publia qu’un seul livre, les Réflexions sur la puissance motrice du feu et sur les machines propres à développer cette puissance (Paris, 1824), dans lequel il exprima, à l’âge de 27 ans, ce qui s’avéra être le travail de sa vie.
Dans cet ouvrage il posa les bases d’une discipline entièrement nouvelle, la thermodynamique. À l’époque d’ailleurs, le terme n’existait pas et c’est William Thomson qui l’inventa au milieu du XIXe siècle. Pourtant c’est bien Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot, malgré l’imprécision de certains de ses concepts, son acceptation de la théorie du calorique et de l'axiome de la conservation de la chaleur, qui a créé cette science aussi fondamentale du point de vue théorique que féconde en applications pratiques. Il formula l’exposé raisonné du moteur thermique et les principes de bases selon lesquels toute centrale énergétique, toute automobile, tout moteur à réaction est aujourd’hui conçu.
Plus remarquable, cette genèse se fit alors même qu’aucun prédécesseur n’eût encore défini la nature et l’étendue du sujet. En s'appuyant sur des préoccupations purement techniciennes, comme l'amélioration des performances de la machine à vapeur, le cheminement intellectuel de Sadi Carnot est original et annonce des évolutions importantes qui intervinrent à cette époque charnière pour la science moderne.
