  2. Room temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_temperature

    A digital thermometer reading an ambient temperature of 36.4°C (97°F) in an unventilated room during a heat wave; a high indoor temperature can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke in a person. The World Health Organization in 1987 found that comfortable indoor temperatures of 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) were not associated with health risks ...

  3. Thermodynamic temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_temperature

    [42] [43] Room temperature ("cold" in tire terms) is 296 K. If the tire temperature is 20 °C hotter (20 kelvins), the solution is calculated as ⁠ 316 K / 296 K ⁠ = 6.8% greater thermodynamic temperature and absolute pressure; that is, an absolute pressure of 320 kPa, which is a gage pressure of 220 kPa.

  4. Thermodynamic beta - Wikipedia

    In non-thermal units, it can also be measured in byte per joule, or more conveniently, gigabyte per nanojoule; [3] 1 K −1 is equivalent to about 13,062 gigabytes per nanojoule; at room temperature: T = 300K, β ≈ 44 GB/nJ ≈ 39 eV −1 ≈ 2.4 × 10 20 J −1. The conversion factor is 1 GB/nJ = ⁡ J −1.

  5. Cold fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion

    Cold fusion is a hypothesized type of nuclear reaction that would occur at, or near, room temperature. It would contrast starkly with the "hot" fusion that is known to take place naturally within stars and artificially in hydrogen bombs and prototype fusion reactors under immense pressure and at temperatures of millions of degrees, and be ...

  6. Joule–Thomson effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule–Thomson_effect

    So throttling from 200 bar to 1 bar gives a cooling from room temperature to below the freezing point of water. Throttling from 200 bar and an initial temperature of 133 K (point c in fig. 2) to 1 bar results in point d, which is in the two-phase region of nitrogen at a temperature of 77.2 K.

  7. Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_cooling

    When stated in terms of temperature differences, Newton's law (with several further simplifying assumptions, such as a low Biot number and a temperature-independent heat capacity) results in a simple differential equation expressing temperature-difference as a function of time. The solution to that equation describes an exponential decrease of ...

  8. Thermal comfort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_comfort

    ASHRAE 55-2017 defines the Cooling Effect (CE) at elevated air speed (above 0.2 metres per second (0.66 ft/s)) as the value that, when subtracted from both the air temperature and the mean radiant temperature, yields the same SET value under still air (0.1 m/s) as in the first SET calculation under elevated air speed.

  9. Temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature

    Temperature is a physical quantity that quantitatively expresses the attribute of hotness or coldness. ... no matter how cold it is. Alternatively thinking, the ideal ...
