What is Heat??
Heat = Thermal Energy!!
Thermal Energy = the total energy of all of the particlesmaterial or object.
Throughout the ages people have invented a variety odevices to help create and capture heat for use.

cools off. Cooler airfalls, creating aconvection current – this forms wind

Temperature is a measure of hotness or coldneS.I. unit: Kelvin (K)
Celsius scale(Practical Scale)
Temperature (in degree Celsius) =
Temperature in Kelvin – 273.15
Note: 0o C = 273.15 K

1. The length is taken at 0o C (inmelting ice) = l0
2. The length is taken at 100o C(in boiling water) = l100
3. A graph of temperature versuslength is plotted

Thermometers measure temperature.
Note:
1. Temperature is a number which gives the degreof a body on a chosen scale. (degree at whichoccurred).
2. When we measure temperature we measure a tproperty.
3. Two different thermometers do not necessarily givreading at the same temperature. Different Th
properties vary differently with temperature

The Liquid in Glass Thermometer
The Liquid in Glass thermometer utilizes the variation in volume
temperature.
They use the fact that most fluids expand on heating. The fluid is
sealed glass bulb, and its expansion is measured using a scale
stem of the thermometer If we consider that the thermom
expand then as physical property it utilizes the variation of lengttemperature.
Liquid in Glass thermometers have been used in science, medic
and industry for almost 300 years.
Liquids commonly used include Mercury and Alcohol.

b. The Stem:

The mercury in glass therm
7/23/2019 Note 1 Temperature & Thermometers
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/note-1-temperature-thermometers 36/72
The mercury in glass therm
Invented by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, is a
thermometer consisting of mercury in a glass tube.
Calibrated marks on the tube allow the temperature to be length of the mercury within the tube, which varies accordi
temperature.
To increase the sensitivity, there is usually a bulb of mercury
the thermometer which contains most of the mercury; expa
contraction of this volume of mercury is then amplified in th
narrower bore of the tube. The space above the mercury m
with nitrogen or it may be a vacuum.
Range: Covering a wide temperature range from -38 °C to
although the introduction of a instrument can increase the
°C or beyond.

Advantages:
1. Mercury is a naturally opaque liquid (Silver). This means
directly utilized in its pure form
2. Mercury does not wet glass. When it moves up and dow
capillary strong cohesive properties of mercury do not allo
any traces on the inside of the capillary.
3. Mercury is a liquid metal. As a metal it has high conduc
that allow it to be more sensitive than the alcohol in glass
Disadvantages:
1. Mercury poses a potential toxic hazard if the glass cont
ruptured.

The gas thermometers can be classified into two based on t
method by which the gas can be heated. They are,
Constant Pressure Gas Thermometer
Constant Volume Gas Thermometer.
The constant pressure gas thermometer is not used in practi
because of the errors which arise due to the non – uniformi
bore.
The constant volume gas thermometer is the most accurat
laboratory thermometer and is used for the calibration of o
thermometers.

Gas thermometers are more sensitive when compared to other t
They work uniformly and regularly over a wide range of tempe
They can be used to measure low and high temperatures and ha
range of operation. ( – 200oC to 1600oC)
Since the expansion of glass is negligible when compared to ththe gas the error due to expansion of glass is negligible.

Many different thermocouple combinations have been used
are standardized.
These include 3 noble metal thermocouples using platinum a
rhodium alloys, widely used for temperature measurement u
The remaining 5 mainly use nickel-based alloys, which are ch
more suitable for industrial use up to about 1200 °C.
Other refractory alloys can be used up to and beyond 2000

Advantages:
1. Cheap to manufacture.
2. The simplicity, ruggedness, low cost, small
size and wide temperature range of
thermocouples make them the most
common type of temperature sensor in
industrial use.
3. Low heat capacities making it capable
of measuring rapid temperature changes.
Disadvantages:
1. Sensitivity reduces ac

Another Scale…
Kelvin is another way of measuring temperature.
Scientists use Kelvin to explain the behaviour of gases.
“Absolute Zero” is measured in Kelvin – which is the coldest ptemperature
0 Kelvin = -273 ºC

Each thermometer has a sensor – a material which is affectein the environment (such as temperature)
The sensor produces a signal (information about temperatureelectrical current) which affects a responder (a pointer, light mechanism that uses the signal in some way)
