Absolute zero: lowest possible temperature at which gas would have a zero volume
bimetallic strip: strip consisting of two metals of different coefficients of expansion welded together so that it buckles on heating: used in thermostats
calorie: Also called gram calorie, small calorie. an amount of heat exactly equal to 4.1840 joules.
celsius scale: temperature scale according to which the temperature difference between the reference temperatures of the freezing and boiling points of water is divided into 100 degrees. The freezing point is taken as 0 degrees Celsius and the boiling point as 100 degrees Celsius.
Fahrenheit scale: Fahrenheit (symbol °F) is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by the physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit
Heat: A measure of energy or heat in the Britishsystem, often used in reference to the capacity of an air conditioner. A Btu is equal to 778 foot-pounds, or 1,054 joules
Internal energy: In thermodynamics, the internal energy is the total energy contained by a thermodynamic system. It is the energy needed to create the system but excludes the energy to displace the system's surroundings
Kelvin scale: The kelvin is a unit of measurement for temperature. It is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units and is assigned the unit symbol K
Kilocalorie: a popular use of the term calorie, dietitians loosely use it to mean the kilocalorie, sometimes called the kilogram calorie, or large Calorie
specific heat capacity:
Heat capacity: thermal capacity, is the measurable physical quantity of heat energy required to change the temperature of an object by a given amount
Temperature: A temperature is a numerical measure of hot and cold. Its measurement is by detection of heat radiation or particle velocity or kinetic energy, or by the bulk behavior of a thermometric material.
