In thermodynamics, Sigmund Wroblewski (1845-1888) was a Polish physical chemist noted for his 1883 low-temperature thermodynamics work, together with Carl Olszewski, in the liquefaction of a measureable quantity of oxygen at 90K.
Education
In circa 1870, following studies under Hermann Helmholtz at the University of Berlin, Wroblewski met German physicist Rudolf Clausius, while in recuperation from vision surgery in the Swiss Alps, who told him to continue on with his low temperature work, and to concentrate on things related to thermodynamics.
