[Operational definition] Temperature is what you measure with a thermometer.
TemperatureTemperature
[Operational definition] Temperature is what you measure with a thermometer.
[Let’s go to a hospital] The steps of the measurement are:
– Contact of object and thermometer. What kind of contact?
– Wait for some time. How long shall we wait? – Read the temperature. How do we quantify?
TemperatureTemperature
Contact of object and thermometer. What kind of contact?
– Allowing spontaneous energy transfer, i.e., heat. No particle transfer!
Wait for some time. How long shall we wait?
– Relaxation time. Should not be long. Read the temperature. How do we
quantify? – We need a law, or an equation.
Thermal EquilibriumThermal Equilibrium
After two objects have been in contact long enough (such that their macroscopic properties no longer change), we say that they are in thermal equilibrium (microscopic properties still change).
The zeroth law of thermodynamics: If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they must be in thermal equilibrium with each other.
Temperature, AgainTemperature, Again
[Definition] Temperature is a measure of the tendency of an object to spontaneously give up energy to its surroundings. When two objects are in thermal contact, the one that tends to spontaneously lose energy is at the higher temperature.

The Third Law of ThermodynamicsThe Third Law of Thermodynamics
The third law of thermodynamics: "It is impossible for any procedure to lead to the isotherm T = 0 in a finite number of steps."

A steel railroad track has a length of 30 m when the temperature is 0.0oC. (a) What is its length when the temperature is 40oC?

Unusual Behavior of WaterUnusual Behavior of Water
As the water freezes, the ice remains on the surface because ice is less dense than water. The ice continues to build up at the surface, while water near the bottom remains at 4oC.

Heat is defined as the transfer of energy across the boundary of a system due to a temperature difference between the system and its surroundings.
Heat transfer– Conduction, convection, radiation
