Clausius
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-002107
A historical unit of entropy, defined as one calorie per Kelvin (cal/K). This unit is named after Rudolf Clausius, a pioneer in the field of thermodynamics who introduced the concept of entropy. While still occasionally encountered in older texts, the standard unit for entropy in the International System of Units (SI) is joules per Kelvin (J/K).
