Kelvin and Platinum Temperature Scale.

AI Thread Summary
Kelvin and the Platinum Temperature Scale serve different purposes, with Kelvin being a temperature scale and platinum resistance thermometers measuring temperature using various scales. The temperature scale in platinum resistance thermometers depends on the specific device and its calibration. While both can provide temperature readings, they are not inherently the same. Understanding the distinction between the two is crucial for accurate temperature measurement. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing the function of each in thermometry.

Is it possible that Kelvin and Platinum Temperature Scale give same reading of Temperature?

Hello Vivek, :welcome:

Isn't one of them a definition of a temperature scale and the other the scale on a device to measure temperature ?

Hi

Yes you are right. Then tell me What is the Temperature Scale in Platinum Resistance Thermometers?

It's a device to measure temperature. The scale is whatever scale the individual device uses.

Thread 'Basic thermal energy transfer physics: Insulation value in open airways vs sealed airways'

Been around 40 years since I took basic physics in college and while I remember doing some examples of insulation values / energy conduction, I doubt I could to the math now even if I could find the formulas. I have some some corrugated plastic sheet (think of the plastic signs you see on the side of the road) that is used in bee hives. Also have some used in a green house though a bit different in dimensions than this example but the general approach should still apply. Typically, both...

Thread 'Using battery energy to heat a battery…'

Problem: You’re an Uber driver with a Tesla Model 3. Today’s low: 30F, high: 65F. You want to reach a USD$ profit target in the least number of hours, but your choices could have added cost. Do you preheat the battery only when you are headed to the charging station (to increase the charging rate by warming the battery — however the battery might not be “warm enough” when your reach the charger and thus slower charging rates), or do you always “navigate to the charger” the entire day (which...

Thread 'Is Callen right in claiming dQ=TdS for all quasi-static processes?'

Hello! I am currently reading the second edition of Callen's Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics, and I have a question regarding Callen's definition of quasi-static. On page 96, Callen says: Another way of characterizing Callen's definition is that a process is quasi-static if it traces out a continuous curve in the system's configuration space. So far it's all well and good. A little later, Callen claims that the identification of $$TdS$$ as the heat transfer is only...
