1.1 Intro. & Concept of Temperature Introduction: Temperature is a word that will be familiar to all readers, but it is also a word that poses scientific difficulty… We know what it feels like to touch a cold or hot object. Temperature is directly associated with the physiological sense of hotness. But one cannot measure temperature using a physiological effect because people are differently sensitive to hotness. Hot and cold are therefore imprecise terms on which it is difficult to base a scientific definition. (Physics by Robert Hutchings 2nd Ed., pg 416)

1.1 Intro. & Concept of Temp. Cont’d Left to Right: Outdoor thermometer; Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton were early inventors of Thermometers. (Taken from Microsoft Student with Encarta Premium 2007)

1.1 Intro. & Concept of Temp. Cont’d Heat: It is the transfer of energy solely on the account of a temperature difference. Temperature: It is measure of how hot or cold a body is. Thermal Energy: This is the vibratory energy of molecules that constitute a body. Thus temperature is an indication of this energy.

1.1 Intro. & Concept of Temp. Cont’d Temperature: • It is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules that constitute a body. • Macroscopic quantity – large scale and it is measureable. (Base quantity) • Our sense of perception is well acquainted with it (we feel hotness and coldness) • Thermodynamic quantity that indicates thermal equilibrium (heat balance). Study of heat in motion. (Thermo = heat; dynamics = motion) (Physics for the IB Diploma by Tim Kirk, pg 24.)

1.1 Intro. & Concept of Temp. Cont’d Zeroth (0th)Law of Thermodynamics: It states that if two bodies A and B are in thermal equilibrium with a third body C, then A and B are in thermal equilibrium with each other.

1.1 Intro. & Concept of Temp. Cont’d Historical Perspective One of the earliest temperature scales was that devised by the German physicist Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit. According to this scale, at standard atmospheric pressure, the freezing point (and melting point of ice) is 32° F, and the boiling point is 212° F. The centigrade, or Celsius scale, invented by the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, and used throughout most of the world, assigns a value of 0° C to the freezing point and 100° C to the boiling point.

1.1 Intro. & Concept of Temp. Cont’d Historical Perspective Cont’d In scientific work, the absolute or Kelvin scale, invented by the British mathematician and physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, is most widely used. In this scale, absolute zero is at -273.15°C, which is zero K, and the degree intervals are identical to those measured on the Celsius scale .

1.1 Intro. & Concept of Temp. Cont’d Temperature Scales: This is a standard used in the determination of temperature. Construction of Temperature Scale: Identify a thermometric substance i.e. one that has a physical property that is temperature dependent. Identify the thermometric property i.e. Heat measuring property. Identify two (2) fixed points – lower & upper by which the thermometer operates. Points used depends temperature scale.

1.1 Intro. & Concept of Temp. Cont’d Types of Temperature Scales: Celsius/Centigrade: Assumes that equal changes in the thermometric property are produced by equal changes in temperature. Fixed pts: ice pt and steam point of H2O Ice pt: Temperature where pure water in solid & liquid phases co-exists at Standard Atmospheric Pressure (S.A.P – 1.01 × 105 Pa) Steam pt: Temperature where pure water in liquid & vapour phases co-exists at S.A.P.

1.1 Intro. & Concept of Temp. Cont’d Celsius Temperature: Value of Thermometric property at ice pt, steam pt and unknown Celsius temperature. Physics for the IB Diploma by Tim Kirk, pg 24.

1.2 Measurement of Heat & Thermometers

1.2 Measurement of Heat & Thermometers Temperature: It is measure of how hot or cold a body is. Heat: It is the transfer of energy solely on the account of a temperature difference.

1.2 Measurement of Heat & Thermometers Introduction: Heat in physics, transfer of energy from one part of a substance to another, or from one body to another by virtue of a difference in temperature. Heat is energy in transit; it always flows from a substance at a higher temperature to the substance at a lower temperature, raising the temperature of the latter and lowering that of the former substance, provided the volume of the bodies remains constant. Heat does not flow from a lower to a higher temperature unless another form of energy transfer, work, is also present. Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2007

1.2 Measurement of Heat & Thermometers Heat: It is the transfer of thermal energy solely on the account of a temperature difference. The magnitude of the heat that is transferred is dependent on: Mass of object Temperature difference Nature of the object

1.2 Measurement of Heat & Thermometers Calorimetry: It is study of heat exchanges using a device called the calorimeter. They are various methods employed in calorimetry namely: Method of Mixtures. Electrical Method Continuous Flow Method Method of Cooling Mechanical Method
