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 'Condensate rate of water for an air conditioning cooling coil'

I need to calculate the amount of water condensed from a DX cooling coil per hour given the size of the expansion coil (the total condensing surface area), the incoming air temperature, the amount of air flow from the fan, the BTU capacity of the compressor and the incoming air humidity. There are lots of condenser calculators around but they all need the air flow and incoming and outgoing humidity and then give a total volume of condensed water but I need more than that. The size of the...

Thread 'Entropy and configurations of microstates'

I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...

Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'

Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
