  2. 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 ...

  3. Fahrenheit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit

    A temperature interval of 1 °F was equal to an interval of 5 ⁄ 9 degrees Celsius. With the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales now both defined by the kelvin , this relationship was preserved, a temperature interval of 1 °F being equal to an interval of 5 ⁄ 9 K and of 5 ⁄ 9 °C.

  4. Temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature

    Average daily variation in human body temperature. Many physical processes are related to temperature; some of them are given below: the physical properties of materials including the phase (solid, liquid, gaseous or plasma), density, solubility, vapor pressure, electrical conductivity, hardness, wear resistance, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, strength

  5. 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 ...

  6. Dolbear's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolbear's_law

    A shortcut method for degrees Celsius is to count the number of chirps in 8 seconds (N 8) and add 5 (this is fairly accurate between 5 and 30 °C): T C = 5 + N 8 {\displaystyle \,T_{C}=5+N_{8}} The above formulae are expressed in terms of integers to make them easier to remember—they are not intended to be exact.

  7. Antoine equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_equation

    It is however easy to convert the parameters to different pressure and temperature units. For switching from degrees Celsius to kelvin it is sufficient to subtract 273.15 from the C parameter. For switching from millimeters of mercury to pascals it is sufficient to add the common logarithm of the factor between both units to the A parameter:

  8. Heat equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation

    Given an open subset U of R n and a subinterval I of R, one says that a function u : U × I → R is a solution of the heat equation if = + +, where (x 1, ..., x n, t) denotes a general point of the domain.

  9. Kelvin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin

    It may be in plural form as appropriate (for example, "it is 283 kelvins outside", as for "it is 50 degrees Fahrenheit" and "10 degrees Celsius"). [ 54 ] [ 5 ] [ 55 ] [ 56 ] The unit's symbol K is a capital letter, [ 39 ] per the SI convention to capitalize symbols of units derived from the name of a person. [ 57 ]
