  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. Negative temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature

    The absolute temperature (Kelvin) scale can be loosely interpreted as the average kinetic energy of the system's particles. The existence of negative temperature, let alone negative temperature representing "hotter" systems than positive temperature, would seem paradoxical in this interpretation.

  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. 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 ...

  7. Thermoelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_effect

    The thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa via a thermocouple. [1] A thermoelectric device creates a voltage when there is a different temperature on each side.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Thermodynamic beta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_beta

    SI temperature/coldness conversion scale: Temperatures in Kelvin scale are shown in blue (Celsius scale in green, Fahrenheit scale in red), coldness values in gigabyte per nanojoule are shown in black. Infinite temperature (coldness zero) is shown at the top of the diagram; positive values of coldness/temperature are on the right-hand side ...
