  2. Scales of temperature

Celsius

The degree Celsius is the unit of temperature on the Celsius temperature scale "Celsius temperature scale, also called centigrade temperature scale, scale based on 0 ° for the melting point of water and 100 ° for the boiling point of water at 1 atm pressure." (originally known as the centigrade scale outside Sweden), one of two temperature scales used in the International System of Units (SI), the other being the closely related Kelvin scale. Newton scale and Celsius are scales of temperature.

See Newton scale and Celsius

Convection (heat transfer)

Convection (or convective heat transfer) is the transfer of heat from one place to another due to the movement of fluid.

See Newton scale and Convection (heat transfer)

Conversion of scales of temperature

This is a collection of temperature conversion formulas and comparisons among eight different temperature scales, several of which have long been obsolete. Newton scale and conversion of scales of temperature are scales of temperature.

Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27) was an English polymath active as a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and author who was described in his time as a natural philosopher.

Linseed oil

Linseed oil, also known as flaxseed oil or flax oil (in its edible form), is a colourless to yellowish oil obtained from the dried, ripened seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum).

See Newton scale and Linseed oil

List of obsolete units of measurement

This is a list of obsolete units of measurement, organized by type. Newton scale and list of obsolete units of measurement are obsolete units of measurement.

Master of the Mint

Master of the Mint is a title within the Royal Mint given to the most senior person responsible for its operation.

See Newton scale and Master of the Mint

Newton (unit)

The newton (symbol: N) is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

See Newton scale and Newton (unit)

Newton's law of cooling

In the study of heat transfer, Newton's law of cooling is a physical law which states that the rate of heat loss of a body is directly proportional to the difference in the temperatures between the body and its environment.

Rømer scale

The Rømer scale (notated as °Rø), also known as Romer or Roemer, is a temperature scale named after the Danish astronomer Ole Christensen Rømer, who developed it for his own use in around 1702. Newton scale and Rømer scale are obsolete units of measurement and scales of temperature.

Royal Mint

The Royal Mint is the United Kingdom's official maker of British coins.

See Newton scale and Royal Mint

Scale of temperature

Scale of temperature is a methodology of calibrating the physical quantity temperature in metrology.

See Newton scale and Scale of temperature

Thermal expansion

Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to increase in length, area, or volume, changing its size and density, in response to an increase in temperature (usually excluding phase transitions).

See Newton scale and Thermal expansion

Thermometer

A thermometer is a device that measures temperature (the degree of hotness or coldness of an object) or temperature gradient (the rates of change of temperature in space).

See Newton scale and Thermometer

Warden of the Mint

Warden of the Mint was a high-ranking position at the Royal Mint in England from 1216 to 1829.
