Summary
| Title / Description
|
Text of Clausius. Direct translation: Searching for a descriptive name for S, one could — like it is said of the quantity U that it were the heat and work content of the body — say of the quantity S that it were the transformation content of the body. As I deem it better to derive the names of such quantities — that are so important for science — from the antique languages, so that they can be used without modification in all modern languages, I propose to call the quantity S the entropy of the body, after the Greek word for transformation, ἡ τροπή. I have deliberately constructed the word entropy to resemble as much as possible the word energy, since both quantities to be named by these words are so closely related in their physical meaning that a certain similarity in their names seems appropriate to me. |
