En el siglo XIX la idea mecanicista de los fenómenos naturales se había consolidado hasta el punto de creer que era posible describir todas la física a partir de la teoría mecánica. En este trabajo se mostrará como la termodinámica es influenciada por este prejuicio; iniciando con la hipótesis fundamental que motivó y llevó a Helmholtz a darle una interpretación mecánica a los principios de la termodinámica basándose en el modelo mecánico de monociclos que finalmente pierde relevancia al entrar en crisis el modelo mecanicista del mundo natural.
In the nineteenth century, the mechanistic idea of natural phenomena had been consolidated to the point of believing that it was possible to explain all the physical from the mechanical theory. In this paper we show how thermodynamics is influenced by this prejudice, beginning with the fundamental hypothesis that motivated and led Helmholtz to give a mechanical interpretation of the principles of thermodynamics based on the mechanical model of unicycles that finally loses relevance when entering crisis the mechanistic model of the natural world.
