Temperature
Thermodynamic Temperature
- is the absolute measure of the temperature and
it is one of the principal parameters of thermodynamics.
- it is also defined by the second law of
thermodynamics in which the theoretically lowest
temperature is the null or zero point. At this point, called
absolute zero
We have previously specified that T was this
temperature, but we had to speak of measuring T by
changes in other properties.
For Example:
=

= 1

And
For Engine A & B:
For A:



For B:

in these equations and we find:

Since

and so on. We may
let some unit of work in a certain Carnot engine
define a particular temperature interval. Its unit is
Kelvin or Rankine or any other absolute scale.
