  2. Kelvin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin

    The kelvin (symbol: K) is the ... The scale proposed in the paper turned out to be unsatisfactory, but the principles and formulas upon which the scale was based were ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  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 ...

  6. 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.

  7. Scale of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_temperature

    This means that a temperature difference of one degree Celsius and that of one kelvin are exactly the same. On 20 May 2019, the kelvin was redefined so that its value is now determined by the definition of the Boltzmann constant rather than being defined by the triple point of VSMOW. This means that the triple point is now a measured value, not ...

  8. Stefan–Boltzmann law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan–Boltzmann_law

    The SI unit for absolute temperature, T, is the kelvin (K). To find the total power, ... This formula can then be rearranged to calculate the temperature: ...

  9. Antoine equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_equation

    The Antoine equation is ⁡ = +. where p is the vapor pressure, T is temperature (in °C or in K according to the value of C) and A, B and C are component-specific constants.. The simplified form with C set to zero:
