HEAT and THERMODYNAMICS

Temperature:-

1. The concept of thermal equilibrium- Zeroth Law of Termodynamics,

- temperature scales and empirical temperature,
- measurement of temperature and types of termometers.
2. Quantity of heat:

- latent heat of fusion and vaporisation,
- measurements of heat, Phase changes.
3. Transfer of heat:
- heat conduction and determination of
good conductors and insulators.

heat conductivity for

4. Quantitative analysis and linear expansion coefficient

- (a), surface expansion coefficient
- (b) and volume expansion coefficient.
5. Radiation:- Thermal radiation as a form of energy,
- black body radiation, Stefan Law.
