S is for Entropy. U is for Energy. What Was Clausius Thinking?

Abstract
In the development of thermodynamics, 19th-century scientist Rudolf Clausius devised mathematical equations with which to describe the actions and relationships of heat and work. This paper traces his thinking from his 1850 publication on "The Moving Force of Heat and the Laws Which May Be Deduced Therefrom" to the 1879 English edition of his textbook, The Mechanical Theory of Heat, particularly noting his ideas about parallel concepts of energy and entropy.
