    Summary: This paper, the first in a series of four, will expose the lack of inner consistency of the analysis through which Clausius re-expressed the second law of thermodynamics: ``Heat cannot, of itself, pass from a colder to a hotter body'', as the law of increasing entropy: ``The entropy of the universe tends to a maximum''.
