Claude Pierre Duhem

Claude Pierre Duhem was a French mathematician and physicist known for his work in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He made significant contributions to the understanding of heat transfer, fluid flow, and the mathematical modeling of physical phenomena. Duhem also engaged in the philosophy of science, emphasizing the importance of theoretical assumptions and experimental verification in scientific progress. His work helped advance the fundamental principles used today in engineering and physics, shaping how scientists analyze energy, heat, and fluid behavior.
