Émile Clapeyron (1799–1864) was a French engineer and physicist best known for his contributions to thermodynamics and particularly for the formulation of Clapeyron's equation, which relates to phase changes in substances. His work helped to describe how the properties of substances change with temperature and pressure. Clapeyron is also known for his contributions to the field of steam engines and for his development of the ideal gas law.
