Reflections on the motive power of heat

Note 58 — IV.[34] CARNOT’S THEORY OF THE MOTIVE POWER OF HEAT.[35] WITH NUMERICAL RESULTS DEDUCED FROM REGNAULT’S EXPERIMENTS ON STEAM.[36]

Robert Henry Thurston translation

Thus, from Carnot’s calculations, we find, in the case of alcohol 4.035, and in the case of water 3.648, instead of 3.963 and 3.658, which are Clapeyron’s results in the same cases.
