 ### 5.8 Technical benchmarks
 
 Many niche models possess unique value but are discarded because they fail to top general technical benchmarks. Researchers often evaluate dozens of models rapidly; if a model does not impress immediately, sometimes due merely to faulty inference code rather than the model itself, it is permanently set aside. This premature abandonment represents a significant sunk cost, rendering the substantial water consumption and carbon emissions expended during training completely wasted.

+### 6.1 The Principle of Reversibility
+Carnot conceived of an ideal, reversible cycle (now called the Carnot Cycle), arguing that the most efficient engine must be one that could be run perfectly backward to undo the initial process.
+This notion of reversibility became a core concept in thermodynamics. It demonstrated that factors like friction and heat transfer across a finite temperature difference (like the unnecessary "fall" of caloric) are the sources of irreversible losses and reduced efficiency in real engines.

+
+### 6.2  Maximum Efficiency is Temperature Dependent
+Carnot correctly concluded that the maximum efficiency of any heat engine operating between a high-temperature reservoir ($T_H$) and a low-temperature reservoir ($T_C$) depends only on those two temperatures, and is independent of the working substance (steam, gas, etc.). [161](https://testbook.com/objective-questions/mcq-on-fundamental-processes--63a451aec9ba648bc86fbf43) [162](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/carnot-limit) [163](https://fiveable.me/key-terms/thermodynamics-i/carnot-efficiency-equation) [164](https://study.com/academy/lesson/efficiency-the-carnot-cycle-equations-examples.html)
+
+This statement, known as Carnot's Theorem, is a cornerstone of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. It sets a theoretical upper limit for engine performance: $\eta_{\text{max}} = 1 - \frac{T_C}{T_H}$. He was on the right track in identifying the temperature difference as the determining factor, much like the height of the waterfall is the key factor for a waterwheel. [165](https://www.calctool.org/thermodynamics/carnot-efficienc)
+
+#### 6.2.1 How the Caloric Flaw Was Replaced
+
+Sadi Carnot's original 1824 work assumed the prevailing caloric theory, which posited that heat was a conserved, invisible fluid that flowed from hot to cold bodies, much like water falling through a waterwheel to produce power. This view was later found to be incorrect. [166](https://fiveable.me/thermodynamics-i/unit-6/carnot-cycle-carnot-principles/study-guide/AMSmCjZ6JQrqGRtY) [167](https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/23/8/1078) [168](https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/316134/why-was-caloric-theory-accepted-despite-observations-that-heat-was-produced-by-f) [169](https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/20/8/584) [170](https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/University_Physics/University_Physics_(OpenStax)/University_Physics_II_-_Thermodynamics_Electricity_and_Magnetism_(OpenStax)/04%3A_The_Second_Law_of_Thermodynamics/4.06%3A_The_Carnot_Cycle) 
+
+The specific part that needed fixing was the caloric theory's premise that heat (caloric) was conserved (meaning $Q_{in} = Q_{out}$), and that work was merely produced by the fall of this conserved fluid. [171](https://hal.science/hal-04005853/document)
+
+Sadi Carnot's "error" was not a factual mistake in his experimental observations, but rather his reliance on the then-dominant, yet ultimately incorrect, caloric theory of heat. [172](https://www.sophiararebooks.com/pages/books/6270/nicolas-leonard-sadi-carnot/reflexions-sur-la-puissance-motrice-du-feu-et-sur-les-machines-propres-a-developper-cette) [173](https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Hydraulic-analogy-of-a-heat-engine-according-to-Carnot_fig2_225824809) [174](https://news.mit.edu/2010/explained-carnot-051) [175](https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/25/7/1106)
+
+The true nature of heat and work was later clarified by the development of the First Law of Thermodynamics, primarily through the work of scientists like Rudolf Clausius, Lord Kelvin, James Prescott Joule, Julius Robert von Mayer, and Hermann von Helmholtz. 
+[176](https://scispace.com/pdf/a-mathematical-overview-of-mass-and-energy-conservation-in-4nbtfcjgs0.pdf) [177](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-99676-4_7) [178](https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/clausius-and-second-law-thermodynamics) [179](https://opentextbc.ca/foundationsofphysics/chapter/energy-heat/) [180](https://www.scielo.org.mx/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0187-893X2008000300010)
+
+Clausius and Lord Kelvin, reconciled Carnot's powerful principles with the new discoveries of the Mechanical Equivalent of Heat (First Law of Thermodynamics, championed by Joule) and the conservation of energy, establishing that heat is a form of energy that can be converted into work, but never with 100% efficiency.
+[181](https://academic.oup.com/book/8337/chapter-abstract/153993478?redirectedFrom=fulltext) [182](https://academic.oup.com/book/8337/chapter-abstract/153993478?redirectedFrom=fulltext) [183](https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/clausius-and-second-law-thermodynamics) [184](https://mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Clausius/)
+
+The correct principle established that: Heat is a Form of Energy: Heat is not a conserved fluid, but a form of energy that can be converted into other forms, most notably mechanical work.Energy is Conserved: The total energy of a system is conserved, not just heat.Heat is Converted, Not Conserved: In a heat engine, a portion of the incoming heat (\(Q_{in}\)) is actually converted into work (\(W\)), with the remaining, smaller portion (\(Q_{out}\)) being expelled. The relationship is \(Q_{in}=W+Q_{out}\), which means \(Q_{in}>Q_{out}\). [185](https://academic.oup.com/book/36769/chapter-abstract/321892987?redirectedFrom=fulltext)[186](https://www.theochem.ru.nl/~pwormer/Knowino/knowino.org/wiki/Carnot_cycle.htm) [187](https://physics.info/thermo-first/)[188](https://www.chemistryviews.org/details/ezine/11116708/200th_Birthday_James_Prescott_Joule)
+
+While his foundational assumption was incorrect, Carnot's genius lay in that his conclusions about efficiency and the ideal cycle were mathematically sound and remain valid because they correctly identified the critical role of temperature differences. His work laid the groundwork for the Second Law of Thermodynamics and also for the next section where I will try to connect his ideas to Machine Learning. [189](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7514258) [190](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.15787) [191](https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/20/8/584) [192](https://www.ck12.org/book/cbse_physics_book_class_xi/section/11.6/) [193](https://www.asme.org/about-asme/engineering-history/landmarks/275-reflections-on-the-motive-power-of-fire-and-on-machines-fitted-to-develop-that-power)
+
+#### 6.2.2 Clausius's Contribution - Entropy
+
+Rudolf Clausius introduced the concept of entropy ($S$), which is closely related to the irreversibility Carnot had identified. Clausius showed that in a reversible Carnot cycle, the ratio of heat transferred to the temperature is what is conserved: $\frac{Q_H}{T_H} = \frac{Q_C}{T_C}$. This equation replaced the idea of conserved caloric and formally defined the maximum efficiency.
+Carnot's brilliant framework—the cycle, the concept of reversibility, and the maximum efficiency limit based on temperatures—was essentially transferred from the incorrect caloric theory to the correct mechanical theory of heat (thermodynamics).
+
+Rudolf Clausius formalized the concept of entropy (\(\mathbfit{S}\)) with the Clausius inequality, which states that for any cyclic process, the cyclic integral of heat transfer (\(\delta Q\)) divided by the absolute temperature (\(\mathbfit{T}\)) is less than or equal to zero. The mathematical expression for the Clausius inequality is:\(\oint \frac{\delta Q}{T}\le 0\).
