TEMPERATURE AND IT'S MEASUREMENTS What definition of temperature do you know? Let's begin that way * Definition of Temperature * * Temperature: * is the measure/degree of Hotness or Coldness of a body. It decided the way heat would flow when two bodies are in contact. It flows from a body with a higher temperature to a body with a lower temperature. The temperature scales used to measure temperature are: >Celcius scale (°C) >Farenheit Scale (°F) >Kelvin Scale (K) * The Celcius Scale * : is graduated from 0°C(lower fixed point) to 100°C(upper fixed point) * The Farenheit scale * is graduated from 32°F(Lower fixed point) to 212°F(Upper fixed point) * The Kelvin Scale * is graduated from 273k(lower fixed point) to 373k(Upper fixed point) * Example * : A Celcius temperature scale was used to measure an environ and it measures 54°C. What is the absolute temperature on the instrument if the upper and lower fixed point of that environ is 350°C...
