Lesson 1 the Nature and History of Temperature Lektion 1 Sidan 2 av 5 © Pentronic AB 2017-01-19 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- However, the thermometer had no real practical use until 1714, when the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit developed a temperature scale that made it possible to take comparative measurements. He is also considered to be the inventor of the mercury thermometer as it is today – that is, mercury inside a closed glass tube. It is worth pointing out that the glass thermometers containing mercury that may still be in use are being used by special exemption. Mercury is a stable substance but it becomes dangerous out in the environment. Today we use other liquids such as coloured alcohol. The temperature scales Fahrenheit Fahrenheit created a 100-degree scale in which zero degrees was the temperature of a mixture of sal ammoniac and snow – the coldest he could achieve in his laboratory in Danzig. As the upper fixed point he used the internal body temperature of a healthy human being and gave it the value of 100°F. In degrees Celsius this scale corresponds approximately to the range of -18 to +37 degrees.

  • Edmond Halley (1656 – 1742)
    Section 1: Science in the Early 18th Century 1 Lessons 1-15: Science in the Early 18th Century Lesson 1: Edmond Halley (1656 – 1742) The 17th century was a time of great progress in the way natural philosophers understood the heavens. With the help of Kepler’s Laws, Newton had produced his theory of gravity, which explained why the planets in the solar system orbit the sun. There was still a lot left to explain, but Newton had provided an incredibly important insight into how the solar system works. Towards the end of that century, a young natural philosopher by the name of Edmond Halley (hal’ ee) visited Newton to discuss some details regarding the way the planets orbit the sun. While he didn’t contribute a lot to our understanding of the planets, this young natural philosopher did help us figure out something else about what is seen in the heavens. Halley was the son of a very successful English soap merchant who was also named Edmond. Because his father was wealthy, he had the best education money could buy. At an early age, he This portrait of Edmond Halley was painted by Scottish became interested in astronomy, and his father artist Thomas Murray. purchased some very expensive equipment to help him observe the heavens. This allowed him to make some keen observations of Mars as the moon passed between it and the earth. He published those observations in a scientific paper at the ripe old age of 20! He continued to observe the heavens as much as he could.

    TEMPERATURE © 2019, 2008, 2004, 1990 by David A. Katz. All rights reserved. A BRIEF HISTORY OF TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT Ancient people were physically aware of hot and cold and probably related temperature by the size of the fire needed, and how close to sit, to keep warm. An Australian tribe, still primitive, uses dogs instead of blankets to keep warm, thus, they can relate temperature by the dog. (See Figure 1.) A moderately cool night may require two dogs to keep warm, thus it is a two-dog night. An icy night would be a six-dog night. Early people were, at first, fire tenders, maintaining fires originally Figure 1. Australian started by natural causes. Later, they learned how to make fire and aborginies use dogs became fire makers. Eventually, they became fire managers as they to keep warm. learned to work with fire to gain the heat needed to boil water, cook meat, fire pottery (500°F or 257°C), work with copper, tin, bronze (an alloy of copper and tin) and iron, and to make glass. (See Figure 2) Although they had no quantitative measuring devices to determine how hot a fire was, they developed recipes for building different types of fires and probably used a physical indicator, such as some mineral or metal melting, to indicate the correct Figure 2. Early people temperature for a particular process. used fire to cook food and later to work with The ancient Greeks knew that air expanded when heated and metals. applied the principle mechanically, but they developed no means of measuring temperature or amount of heat needed and devised no measuring instruments.

  • The Science Behind Meaningful Temperature Measurement, Part 1: Introduction
    Calibrating Thermometers: The Science Behind Meaningful Temperature Measurement, Part 1: Introduction By Maria Knake, Laboratory Assessment Program Manager Posted: May 2012 A Promise is a Promise I've said it myself: without calibration, we have no confidence in the measurements that we take. And if a measurement isn’t meaningful, why even bother? Nevertheless, if you’ve read my previous articles, "The Anatomy of a Liquid-in-Glass Thermometer" and "Let’s Get Digital," you know that, up to this point, I have (intentionally) avoided the subject of thermometer calibration. So, if calibration is such an important subject, why have I been avoiding it for so long? The answer is simple: I’ve been procrastinating. As I promised at the end of my last article, it’s time to finally talk about thermometer calibration, or what I like to call “the science behind meaningful temperature measurement.” If the cornerstone of any good measurement is calibration, then the cornerstone of any good calibration is the method(s) used to complete the calibration. Over my next few posts, I will explain some of the details of thermometer calibration. Units of Temperature Throughout history, many units and scales of temperature measurement have been developed for various applications around the world. In fact, historical accounts claim that over 35 different temperature scales had been developed by the 18th century. One of the most famous scales was developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit around 1714. Fahrenheit was the first scientist to use mercury in a liquid-in-glass thermometer. He used three fixed points to create his temperature scale.

  • How Cold Is Cold: What Is Temperature?
    How_Cold_is_Cold:_What_is_Temperature? Hi. My name is Rick McMaster and I work at IBM in Austin, Texas. I'm the STEM advocate and known locally as Dr. Kold because of the work that I do with schools in central Texas. Think about this question. Was it cold today when you came to school? Was it hot? We'll come back to that shortly, but let's start with something that I think we would all agree is cold, ice. Here's a picture of a big piece of ice. An iceberg, in fact. Now take a few minutes to discuss how much of the iceberg you see above the water, and why this happens. Welcome back. The density of water is about 0.92 grams per cubic centimeter, and sea water about 1.025. If we divide the first by the second, you see that about 90% of the iceberg is below the surface, something for a ship to watch out for. Why did we start with density and not temperature? Density is something that's a much more common experience. If something floats in water, it's less dense than water. If it sinks, it's more dense. That can't be argued. Let's take a little more time to talk about water and ice because it will be important later. So why is ice less dense than water? The solid form of water forms hexagonal crystals with the Hydrogen atoms shown in white, forming bonds with neighboring Oxygen atoms in red. With the water molecules no longer able to move readily, the ice is less dense and the iceberg floats.

Det är nordens äldsta universitet och var vid tidpunkten världens nordligaste universitet. Domkyrkorna utbildade präster men för högre utbildningar var svenskar från 1200‐ talet och framåt tvungna att studera vid utländska universitet i till exempel Paris eller Rostock. Den starkast drivande kraften för bildandet av Uppsala universitet var Jakob Ulvsson som var Sveriges ärkebiskop mellan år 1469‐1515 och därmed den som innehaft ämbetet längst (46 år). Vid domkyrkan mot riddartorget finns en staty av Jakob Ulvsson av konstnären och skulptören Christian Eriksson. Statyns porträttlikhet med Ulvsson är förstås tvivelaktig eftersom man inte vet hur Jakob Ulvsson såg ut. Konstnären studerade i Paris tillsammans med Nathan Söderblom och det sägs att Eriksson hade honom som förebild för Ulvsson statyn och som därmed fick mycket lika ansiktsdrag som Söderblom. (Nathan Söderblom var ärkebiskop i Uppsala 1914‐ 1931, grundade den Ekumeniska rörelsen och fick Nobels fredspris 1930). Till en början bestod undervisningen vid Uppsala universitet främst av filosofi, juridik och teologi. Någon teknisk eller naturvetenskap utbildning fanns inte vid denna tidpunkt.
