What is Temperature?

Page 5: Temperature and  Thermometers

Measuring Temperature

In 1742, Andreas Celcius created the temperature scale that is known by his name.

I’ve never heard of the Andreas scale, it must be a European thing

Page 6: Temperature and  Thermometers

Celsius Scale

In the Celsius scale, a value of zero degrees is assigned to the freezing point of water, and a value of one hundred degrees to the boiling point of water.

0OC Freezing point of water lower fixed point 100OC boiling point of water upper fixed point At normal atmospheric pressure

Page 7: Temperature and  Thermometers

Celsius Scale

A temperature scale is a measure of the level of hotness. Everyday temperatures are measured on the Celsius scale.

0OC Freezing point of water lower fixed point 100OC boiling point of water upper fixed point At normal atmospheric pressure – warm tea in an

aircraft.

TemperatureTEMPERATURE determines the direction of flow of thermal (heat ) energy between two bodies in thermal contact

Heat flows from where its hot to where its not

until the two bodies reach thermal equilibrium – the same temperature

HOT COLD

Page 9: Temperature and  Thermometers

Thermal equilibriumTwo bodies in thermal contact will eventually reach the same temperature. The two bodies are now said to be in thermal equilibrium.

WARM WARM

Temperature

Temperature is also a measure of the average random kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

Note that they are not all travelling at the same speed.

Page 11: Temperature and  Thermometers

Temperature

The hotter the temperature, the faster the average speed of the particles

Note that they are not all travelling at the same speed.

Temperature and ThermometersCommon thermometers used today include the liquid-in-glass type and the bimetallic strip and thermocouples.

Page 18: Temperature and  Thermometers

Task

Make notes on liquid in glass thermometer

and a thermocouple

Page 19: Temperature and  Thermometers

Thermocouple Thermometer

• Two different metals are joined to form two junctions.

• A temperature difference causes a tiny voltage which makes a current flow.

Thermocouples are • quick to respond to

temperature changes • a wide range -200oC to 1100oC • can be connected to computers

Page 20: Temperature and  Thermometers

Liquid in glass thermometer

• Nearly all liquids expand slightly when heated.

• Thermometers use alcohol or mercury

• Mercury is toxic hence no longer used in schools

• School alcohol thermometers measure between -10oC to 110oC

Page 21: Temperature and  Thermometers

Measuring temperature

• The thermometer has to be placed in thermal contact with whatever is being measured until the thermometer and object are in thermal equilibrium.

Page 22: Temperature and  Thermometers

Stick in your books Thermometer Terms

Sensitivity – Some thermometers are more sensitive, the thread of liquid moves further. The narrower the tube the higher the sensitivity.Range • Thermocouple -200oC to 1100oC• Alcohol thermometer -10oC to 110oC for the school

thermometers but can measure lower temperatures. • Mercury high temp of 500oCLinearity – alcohol and mercury thermometers agree at the fixed points but not those in between as they have different expansion characteristics.

Kelvin Temperature

Kelvin temperature is proportional to the average random kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

Note that they are not all travelling at the same speed.

Page 26: Temperature and  Thermometers

Absolute/Kelvin temperature and Celsius

T (in Kelvin) = T (in degrees Celcius) + 273

Just to mention for now that zero Kelvin is the lowest possible temperature.
