Temperature and Heat

Temperature and Heat

1. what is temperature

   • 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.
