Thermometers and Temperature Scales

Termometr to urządzenie służące do pomiaru temperatury ciała lub przedmiotu.
Niektóre z najważniejszych typów termometrów to termometry cieczowe szklane, bimetaliczne, cyfrowe, na podczerwień i gazowe.
Termometry mierzą temperaturę w trzech głównych skalach: Celsjusza, Fahrenheita i Kelvina. Skale te zostały zaprojektowane w oparciu o temperatury zamarzania i wrzenia wody.
W skali temperatur Celsjusza temperatura zamarzania wody jest oznaczona jako zero, podczas gdy temperatura wrzenia wody jest oznaczona jako sto. Między tymi dwoma punktami znajdują się stustopniowe odstępy, dlatego znana jest również jako skala stopni Celsjusza.
Tutaj jednostką temperatury jest stopień Celsjusza.
W skali temperatur Fahrenheita temperatura zamarzania wody wynosi 32, podczas gdy temperatura wrzenia wynosi 212. Jednostką temperatury na tej skali jest stopień Fahrenheita.
Temperaturę w skali Fahrenheita można łatwo przeliczyć na stopnie Celsjusza, stosując równanie konwersji.
Skala temperatury Kelvina to bezwzględna skala temperatury. Tutaj zero kelwinów oznacza zero bezwzględne, które jest najniższą możliwą temperaturą.

termometry i skale temperatury

Jakakolwiek właściwość fizyczna, która w sposób ciągły i powtarzalny zależy od temperatury, może służyć jako podstawa termometru. Na przykład objętość wzrasta wraz z temperaturą w przypadku większości substancji. Ta właściwość jest podstawą popularnego termometru alkoholowego i oryginalnych termometrów rtęciowych. Inne właściwości używane do pomiaru temperatury obejmują oporność elektryczną, kolor i emisję promieniowania podczerwonego.

Ponieważ wiele właściwości fizycznych zależy od temperatury, różnorodność termometrów jest niezwykła. W najpopularniejszym typie termometru alkohol zawierający czerwony barwnik rozszerza się szybciej niż otaczające go szkło. Gdy temperatura termometru wzrasta, ciecz z bańki jest wtłaczana do wąskiej rurki, powodując dużą zmianę długości kolumny przy niewielkiej zmianie temperatury. Innym popularnym typem termometru jest pirometr. Pirometr mierzy promieniowanie podczerwone (którego emisja zmienia się w zależności od temperatury) źródła i szybko generuje odczyt temperatury. Termometry na podczerwień są również często używane do pomiaru temperatury ciała poprzez delikatne umieszczenie ich w kanale słuchowym. Termometry takie są dokładniejsze od termometrów alkoholowych umieszczanych pod językiem czy pod pachą.

Termometry mierzą temperaturę według ściśle określonych skal pomiarowych. Trzy najpopularniejsze skale temperatury to Fahrenheit, Celsjusz i Kelvin. Skale temperatur tworzy się poprzez identyfikację dwóch powtarzalnych temperatur, najczęściej temperatur zamarzania i wrzenia wody pod standardowym ciśnieniem atmosferycznym.

how thermometers measure heat

Thermometers measure temperature by using physical properties that change in a predictable way. One common example is volume. For most substances, volume increases as temperature rises. That idea is used in alcohol thermometers and in the original mercury thermometers.

Other thermometer designs use different temperature-sensitive properties. Some measure electrical resistance, color, or the emission of infrared radiation. The alcohol thermometer is a common example. It contains red-dyed alcohol that expands faster than the glass around it. As the liquid warms, it moves from the bulb into a narrow tube. That creates a large change in the length of the liquid column for a small temperature change.

A pyrometer is another type of thermometer. It measures infrared radiation from a source, and its output changes with temperature. It can give a temperature readout very quickly. Infrared thermometers are also used to measure body temperature in the ear canal. They are more accurate than alcohol thermometers used under the tongue or under the armpit.

Thermometers use temperature scales to turn measurements into numbers. The three most common scales are Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. These scales are built from two reproducible temperatures. The freezing and boiling points of water at standard atmospheric pressure are the most common reference points.

How Thermometers Measure Heat

temperature and thermal equilibrium

Heat, Temperature, and Everyday Energy

Heat and temperature are key ideas in thermodynamics and in everyday life. People often connect temperature with hot and cold, but science gives it a more precise meaning. Temperature is the quantity measured with a thermometer. It is also linked to the average translational kinetic energy of particles. Heat is different from temperature. Heat is energy that moves from one place or material to another because there is a difference in temperature. That difference in temperature keeps heat...

zeroth law of thermodynamics

Thermal Equilibrium and the Zeroth Law

The zeroth law of thermodynamics explains thermal equilibrium between objects. If object A is in equilibrium with object B, and object B is in equilibrium with object C, then object A is also in equilibrium with object C. This transitive relationship is the key idea behind the law. A simple example uses metal blocks and a metal plate at room temperature. A cold metal block and a hot metal block are both placed on the plate. Over time, the cold block and the plate reach thermal equilibrium, and...

gas thermometers and the kelvin scale

Kelvin Temperature and Gas Thermometer Standards

Kelvin temperature is the absolute scale used in science, and it starts at absolute zero. That zero point matches the lowest possible temperature, where molecular motion reaches zero or the minimum allowed by quantum mechanics. Scientists use this scale because some physical quantities, such as the volume of an ideal gas, depend directly on absolute temperature. The Kelvin scale is part of the SI system of units, so its definition is more precise than simply using water’s freezing and boiling...

thermal expansion

Thermal Expansion in Air, Water, and Solids

Thermal expansion is the change in size or volume of a material as its temperature changes. A common example is the alcohol inside a thermometer. As the temperature rises, the alcohol expands and shows the change. Heated air also expands. It becomes less dense than the cooler air around it, so the surrounding air pushes it upward. This is why steam and smoke rise and why hot air balloons float. The same effect happens in liquids and gases, and it helps move heat upward in homes, oceans, and...

thermal stress

How Temperature Changes Create Stress

Thermal stress is the stress that builds up when an object changes temperature but cannot expand or contract freely. If the object would expand without restraint, the stress is compressive. If it would contract, the stress is tensile. This stress from heating or cooling can become large enough to cause damage. Engineers often reduce it by designing parts so they can move as temperature changes. Highway blocks, for example, are separated by gaps so thermal stress does not build up. When gaps...

Golden Gate Bridge Thermal Expansion

Thermal expansion and thermal stress are shown through the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge faces temperatures from -15 °C to 40 °C. At its coldest, the main span is 1275 m long. Assuming the bridge is made entirely of steel, the example asks for the change in its length across this temperature range. To solve the problem, the known values must be identified first. The initial length is 1275 m. The coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 12 x 10 -6 /°C, and the change in temperature is 55...

heat flow and specific heat

Heat Units and Specific Heat

Heat is energy transferred because of a temperature difference, and it can change an object’s temperature. Since heat is energy, its SI unit is the joule (J). Heat transfer is the movement of energy from one place or material to another, and it plays a role in home heating, cooking, and many industrial processes. Two common units for heat are the calorie and the kilocalorie. A calorie (cal) is the energy needed to change the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 °C, specifically between 14.5 °C and...

phase changes

Heat and Phase Change Energy

Heat and phase change energy explain why substances melt, freeze, boil, and condense. A solid turns into a liquid during melting, also called fusion. The reverse process is freezing. A liquid turns into a gas during evaporation. The reverse process is condensation. Each substance changes phase at specific temperatures. The melting point is the temperature where a substance melts or freezes. The boiling point is the temperature where a substance boils or condenses. These temperatures depend on...

calorimetry

Heat Exchange in an Insulated System

Calorimetry studies heat exchange in an insulated system. A calorimeter is a container that prevents heat transfer in or out. Scientists use calorimetry to measure heat and specific heat capacity. A calorimetry problem is any situation where the objects are thermally isolated from their surroundings. The key idea comes from conservation of energy. During heat transfer, the heat gained by the colder object must equal the heat lost by the hotter object. A simple example is water poured into a...

Three Ways Heat Moves Between Objects

Heat transfer happens when there is a temperature difference. It can move fast, like through a cooking pan, or slowly, like through the walls of a picnic ice box. Heat transfer appears in many everyday situations, so it is hard to find a place where it does not occur. There are only three ways heat is transferred: conduction, convection, and radiation. A fireplace shows all three at once. Radiation carries most of the heat into the room. Conduction also moves heat into the room, but much more...

mechanisms of heat transfer ii

Convection and Radiation in Heat Transfer

Convection and radiation are two major ways heat moves. In convection, thermal energy is carried by the large-scale flow of matter. Warm air and water rise because they are less dense, so ocean currents and large-scale atmospheric circulation move heat from the tropics toward the poles and move cold air from the poles toward the tropics. Earth’s rotation changes these moving air currents. It interacts with the flow and helps produce the eastward movement of air in the temperate zones.

conduction, convection and radiation: problem solving

conduction-convection-and-radiation-problem-solving

Heat Transfer Calculations with Conduction, Convection

Heat transfer calculations with conduction and convection use the temperature difference to find the rate of heat flow. Radiation can also be part of the process. The main idea is that heat moves only because one area is hotter than another, and a larger temperature difference leads to faster transfer. To solve a heat transfer problem, first identify the type of transfer involved. It may be conduction, convection, radiation, or a combination of all three. Next, write down the unknown...

radiation: applications

Earth’s Energy Balance and Greenhouse Effect

Earth’s energy balance and the greenhouse effect help explain its average temperature. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space. It receives almost all of its energy from solar radiation, and it reflects some of that energy back into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth also radiates energy into it. Heat can move quickly from soil and grasses, and frost can form on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes. In a first approximation, Earth’s...

absorption of radiation

Radiation Heat Transfer and Thermographs

Radiation heat transfer depends on temperature, surface area, and emissivity. The Stefan-Boltzmann law describes the rate of heat transfer by emitted radiation. In this law, σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, A is the object’s surface area, and T is its temperature in kelvins. The fourth-power dependence on absolute temperature makes radiation highly sensitive to small temperature changes. Even a slight rise in temperature can change the emitted heat a lot. That sensitivity is why radiation...
