This man's second law states that the internal energy of an ideal gas is independent of pressure and volume and depends only on its temperature.
The Brayton cycle is sometimes named for this man, who, independently of von Mayer, formulated the idea of the mechanical equivalent of heat. This man's second law states that the internal energy of an ideal gas is independent of pressure and volume and depends only on its temperature. The process where the temperature of a fluid changes as it undergoes an adiabatic expansion is named for this man and William Thomson. For ten points, name this English physicist who names the SI unit of energy.
