TEMPERATURE
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the
particles in an object.
Temperature is the measure of hotness or coldness expressed in
terms of any of several scales, including Fahrenheit and Celsius.

HEAT
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from one
physical system to another system or from one
region in a physical system to another region.

TRIVIA ABOUT HEAT AND TEMPERATURE

Temperature scales and conversion

Temperature conversion formulas refer to changing the
value of temperature from one unit to another. There are
many temperature conversion methods. Among them Kelvin,
Celsius and Fahrenheit are the most commonly used
methods.

THERE CAN BE THREE MAIN CONVERSIONS OF

TEMPERATURE WHICH ARE:

Conversion Between Celsius and Kelvin

Conversion Between Fahrenheit and Kelvin
Conversion Between Celsius and Fahrenheit
The temperature conversion formula from Celsius to Kelvin is:
K = C + 273.15
The temperature conversion formula from Kelvin to Celcius is:
C = K − 273.15

METHODS OF HEAT TRANSFER

HEAT IS THE TRANSFER OF ENERGY FROM
A WARMER OBJECT TO A COOLER OBJECT.
Conduction is the transfer of energy from one molecule to another by direct
contact. This transfer occurs when molecules hit against each other, similar to a
game of pool where one moving ball strikes another, causing the second to move.
Conduction takes place in solids, liquids, and gases, but works best in materials
that have simple molecules that are located close to each other.

Convection is the movement of heat by a fluid such as water or air. The fluid
(liquid or gas) moves from one location to another, transferring heat along with it.
This movement of a mass of heated water or air is called a current.

Radiation is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves. When you stand in the
sun, you are warmed by the electromagnetic waves, mainly infrared radiation
(and to a lesser extent, visible light), that travels from the sun to Earth. In addition
to the sun, light bulbs, irons, and toasters also transfer heat via radiation

TEMPERATURE SCALES
AND CONVERSION
Scale of temperature is a methodology of
calibrating the physical quantity
temperature in metrology. Empirical scales
measure temperature in relation to
convenient and stable parameters or
reference points, such as the freezing and
boiling point of water.
