Temperature is a
magnitude referred to
the notion of heat
measurable by means
of a thermometer.
what are the temperature scales
The three most common
temperature scales are: Celsius,
Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
what is heat
Heat is energy in transit
flowing from an area of higher
temperature to an area of
lower temperature.
types of heat
This heat transfer can occur
in three different ways:
Conduction, Convection and
Radiation.
what is thermal equilibrium
Thermal equilibrium is that state in which the
temperatures of two bodies are equal, which,
in their initial conditions, had different values.
types of thermal equilibrium
The state of thermal equilibrium occurs when the
kinetic energy is equal in both bodies. The zeroth law
of thermodynamics can be expressed as: if A = C and B
= C, then A = B.
