Chapter 18 Temperature, Heat, and the First Law of Thermodynamics In this chapter we will explore the following topics: Temperature and the Zeroth law of thermodynamics Thermometers and temperature scales Thermal expansion Temperature and heat Specific heat Heats of transformation Heat, work, and the first law of thermodynamics Heat transfer mechanisms
Temperature
The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics Thermoscope If body A is in thermal equilibrium with body T and body B is in thermal equilibrium with body T, then A and B are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
The Triple Point of Water
The Constant-Volume Gas Thermometer
