  2. 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 ...

  3. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    The state of an amount of gas is determined by its pressure, volume, and temperature. The modern form of the equation relates these simply in two main forms. The temperature used in the equation of state is an absolute temperature: the appropriate SI unit is the kelvin. [4]

  4. Heat equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation

    The behavior of temperature when the sides of a 1D rod are at fixed temperatures (in this case, 0.8 and 0 with initial Gaussian distribution). The temperature approaches a linear function because that is the stable solution of the equation: wherever temperature has a nonzero second spatial derivative, the time derivative is nonzero as well.

  5. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    This "law" is just a special case of dimensional analysis in which an equation containing 6 dimensional quantities, ⁠,,,,, ⁠, and 3 independent dimensions, [p], [v], [T] (independent means that "none of the dimensions of these quantities can be represented as a product of powers of the dimensions of the remaining quantities", [45] and ...

  6. Gas laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws

    where P is the pressure, V is the volume, N is the number of gas molecules, k B is the Boltzmann constant (1.381×10 −23 J·K −1 in SI units) and T is the absolute temperature. These equations are exact only for an ideal gas, which neglects various intermolecular effects (see real gas). However, the ideal gas law is a good approximation for ...

  7. Einstein relation (kinetic theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_relation_(kinetic...

    T is the absolute temperature. This equation is an early example of a fluctuation-dissipation relation. [7] Note that the equation above describes the classical case and should be modified when quantum effects are relevant. Two frequently used important special forms of the relation are:

  8. Fundamental thermodynamic relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_thermodynamic...

    Here, U is internal energy, T is absolute temperature, S is entropy, P is pressure, and V is volume. This is only one expression of the fundamental thermodynamic relation. It may be expressed in other ways, using different variables (e.g. using thermodynamic potentials). For example, the fundamental relation may be expressed in terms of the ...

  9. Kelvin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin

    This convention means that temperature and energy quantities have the same dimensions. [51] [52] In particular, the SI unit kelvin becomes superfluous, being defined in terms of joules as 1 K = 1.380 649 × 10 −23 J. [53] With this convention, temperature is always given in units of energy, and the kelvin unit is not explicitly needed in ...
