  2. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of...

    This is a collection of temperature conversion formulas and comparisons among eight different temperature scales, several of which have long been obsolete.. Temperatures on scales that either do not share a numeric zero or are nonlinearly related cannot correctly be mathematically equated (related using the symbol =), and thus temperatures on different scales are more correctly described as ...

  3. Kelvin equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_equation

    The Kelvin equation describes the change in vapour pressure due to a curved liquid–vapor interface, such as the surface of a droplet. The vapor pressure at a convex curved surface is higher than that at a flat surface. The Kelvin equation is dependent upon thermodynamic principles and does not allude to special properties of materials.

  4. Kelvin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin

    The kelvin now only depends on the Boltzmann constant and universal constants (see 2019 SI unit dependencies diagram), allowing the kelvin to be expressed as: [2] 1 kelvin = ⁠ 1.380 649 × 10 −23 / (6.626 070 15 × 10 −34)(9 192 631 770) ⁠ ⁠ h Δν Cs / k B ⁠ ≈ 2.266 6653 ⁠ h Δν Cs / k B ⁠.

  5. Temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature

    The kelvin is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units (SI). Absolute zero, i.e., zero kelvin or −273.15 °C, is the lowest point in the thermodynamic temperature scale. Experimentally, it can be approached very closely but not actually reached, as recognized in the third law of thermodynamics. It would be impossible ...

    then the function f, viewed as a function of thermodynamic temperature, is (,) =, and the reference temperature T 1 has the value 273.16. (Of course any reference temperature and any positive numerical value could be used—the choice here corresponds to the Kelvin scale.)

  7. Thermodynamic temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_temperature

    Thermodynamic temperature is a quantity defined in thermodynamics as distinct from kinetic theory or statistical mechanics.. Historically, thermodynamic temperature was defined by Lord Kelvin in terms of a macroscopic relation between thermodynamic work and heat transfer as defined in thermodynamics, but the kelvin was redefined by international agreement in 2019 in terms of phenomena that are ...

    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 c the numeric value in degrees Celsius: f °F to c °C: c = ⁠ f + 40 / 1.8 ...

  9. Heat equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation

    This solution is obtained from the preceding formula as applied to the data f(x, t) suitably extended to R × [0,∞), so as to be an odd function of the variable x, that is, letting f(−x, t) := −f(x, t) for all x and t.
