* Normal human body temperature is 36.8 °C ±0.7 °C, or 98.2 °F ±1.3 °F. The commonly given value 98.6 °F is simply the exact conversion of the nineteenth-century German standard of 37 °C. Since it does not list an acceptable range, it could therefore be said to have excess (invalid) precision.
The Rankine scale is used in engineering systems where heat computations are done using degrees Fahrenheit. [3] The symbol for degrees Rankine is °R [2] (or °Ra if necessary to distinguish it from the Rømer and Réaumur scales). By analogy with the SI unit kelvin, some authors term the unit Rankine, omitting the degree symbol. [4] [5]
sup – supremum of a set. [1] (Also written as lub, which stands for least upper bound.) supp – support of a function. swish – swish function, an activation function in data analysis. Sym – symmetric group (Sym(n) is also written as S n) or symmetric algebra.
f °F to c °C: c = f − 32 / 1.8 c °C to f °F: f = c × 1.8 + 32; f °F to k K: k = f + 459.67 / 1.8 k K to f °F: f = k × 1.8 − 459.67; There is also an exact conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit scales making use of the correspondence −40 °F ≘ −40 °C. Again, f is the numeric value in degrees Fahrenheit, and ...
A challenge was to avoid degrading the accuracy of measurements close to the triple point. The redefinition was further postponed in 2014, pending more accurate measurements of the Boltzmann constant in terms of the current definition, [48] but was finally adopted at the 26th CGPM in late 2018, with a value of k B = 1.380 649 × 10 −23 J⋅K ...

The exact formulation is as follows. Consider two systems, 1 and 2, in thermal contact, with respective energies E 1 and E 2. We assume E 1 + E 2 = some constant E. The number of microstates of each system will be denoted by Ω 1 and Ω 2. Under our assumptions Ω i depends only on E i.
Tammann temperature was pioneered by German astronomer, solid-state chemistry, and physics professor Gustav Tammann in the first half of the 20th century. [1]: 152 He had considered a lattice motion very important for the reactivity of matter and quantified his theory by calculating a ratio of the given material temperatures at solid-liquid phases at absolute temperatures.
