What is Temperature: Definition and 1000 Discussions
Temperature is a physical quantity that expresses hot and cold. It is the manifestation of thermal energy, present in all matter, which is the source of the occurrence of heat, a flow of energy, when a body is in contact with another that is colder or hotter.
Temperature is measured with a thermometer. Thermometers are calibrated in various temperature scales that historically have used various reference points and thermometric substances for definition. The most common scales are the Celsius scale (formerly called centigrade, denoted as °C), the Fahrenheit scale (denoted as °F), and the Kelvin scale (denoted as K), the last of which is predominantly used for scientific purposes by conventions of the International System of Units (SI).
The lowest theoretical temperature is absolute zero, at which no more thermal energy can be extracted from a body. Experimentally, it can only be approached very closely (100 pK), but not reached, which is recognized in the third law of thermodynamics.
Temperature is important in all fields of natural science, including physics, chemistry, Earth science, astronomy, medicine, biology, ecology, material science, metallurgy, mechanical engineering and geography as well as most aspects of daily life.
Through the research that I conducted is that I wasn't able to find actual supporting answer to this question. I struggle with Physics and math and because of Coronavirus my school has shut down meaning I don't have access to my teachers or tutor. The main line that i am thinking is that if it...
Hi.
I have 3D printer with a heated bed, made of a 400x300 mm aluminium, that is 4mm thick. The surrounding air temperature is about 10°C. When printing with different materials, it is required to keep the bed at different temperatures. What I experience is that the driver which controlls...
Temperature is often imagined as a scalar field varying over (physical) space. Yet temperature seems to be generally defined as the (reciprocal) rate of change (with fixed V,N) of the entropy of a system w.r.t. the energy of that system; a seemingly global property. Is this definition only for...
First I found partition functions of both the systems and hence total energies of them using above formulas.
Z(A) = (1 - e-ε/kT)-1 and Z(B) = (1 + e-ε/kT)
Then I equated these values to the given values of total energies.
I got:
For System A, T(A) = ε/kln(2) > 0
For System B, T(B) =...
Hi
I'd like to know if my current approach to the problem has any issues.
My attempt:
Balancing the equation:
Qin + Win +mΘout = Qout + Wout + mΘout
Qin+m(hin + v2in/2 + gzin) = m(hout + v2out/2 + gzout)
Wflow + ΔU + m(hin) = m(hout)
I factored out the mass:
wflow + Δu + hin = hout
And I used...
I have been reading about the "greenhouse effect" of Earth's atmosphere, having been conscious that while I generally understand it I had never really examined it more closely. A problem that bothers me is mention of "surface temperature" which seems to vary according to context.

Hi!
I have question about high frequency transformers inside switch mode power supplies (SMPS). Is it normal for them to become hot under no load or low load? For example if power supply is rated for 144A at 13.8V and I only pull from it 2A at 9.6V, it normal that transformer becomes about 50C...
Homework Statement:: 1. Does the increase in kinetic energy in (for example) water that results from increasing its temperature result from electron excitation (i.e. increasing electron energy levels) or simply increasing their velocity or vibration amplitude/frequency?
2. If excitation is...

Hello,
I am a Mechanical Engineer a little out of practice on Heat transfer. I am trying to solve this problem. It must be solvable but i have yet to find right equations online.
I have a multi Layer Cylinder made up of C350 marraging Steel,Zinc Alloy-12 , then 6061 Aluminum T6. All that is...
this is my attempt of a solution , but my only equation is should i convert Θ to Celsius , and if i did the specific heat of the other
substance is greater , how is that if its inversely proportional with temperature ! . and the other Θ is 200 K so it should be less ?!
I once had a job servicing microwave repeater station. About 1000 ft up on the tower are reflectors/antenna they have heaters that came on at 40 degrees F. Heaters stayed on until about minus 18 degrees F then heaters turned off. When it gets cold enough all humidity in the air freezes then...
how can i find the rate of change of temperature of the tank for a superheater? Or is there any relationship between the change in temperature of the tank when it is filled with hot gas?
There is this one problem from past exam papers which I cannot seem to do:

its summer where i live and the ceiling space gets extremely hot, much hotter than ambient outdoor.
under a shade outdoor, the air temp beneath shade will be colder than air temp in sunlight. yet in a space with no air flow, the temp is always hotter from my experience. why is this? this isn't...
In a field effect transistor, does the threshold voltage decrease with increasing temperature? Imagine that there would be an increase in thermally generated carriers and thus the device would reach saturation faster? I realize the mobility would decrease, but the increase of thermal carriers...
Hi all.
I make marimbas - www.marimbaaustralia.com - have a look.

M
F
Ice Point
77°M
32°F
Steam Point
437°M
212°F
437°M - 77°M = 360°M
212°F - 32°F = 180°F
∴ M = 2F
M = 2(68°)
M = 136°
But this is incorrect. The answer is actually 149°M. Please help.

Suppose we have a body that isn't a black body, but has an arbitrary emission spectrum. In the general case, can the radiation from this body be characterized as having a temperature, and if so, how? If not, what conditions are needed to make the concept of temperature meaningful in this case?
Suppose we have two boxes of same material and same size but one have a hole in it and if we raise the temperature with equal amount then does two box expand equally?

I tried modeling the problem quite a few ways. one was to say that the difference between the heat emitted by the room and the heat emitted by the bulbs would equal the heat absorbed by the room, and that could allow us to calculate temperature. This did not work. I'd appreciate your help
Question

I used and then found the respective change in temperature.
However for the last question I have no idea, do I sum up the net change in temperature and use
But then what is the work and how do we figure it out?
I was taught that standard ΔS°, ΔG° and ΔH° are the corresponding quantities measured under standard conditions which I was told was 0.1M for solutions, 1 bar for gases, but importantly also at 298K.
