Arnold Sommerfeld

Arnold Johannes Wilhelm Sommerfeld, (5 December 1868 – 26 April 1951) was a German theoretical physicist who pioneered developments in atomic and quantum physics, and also educated and mentored many students for the new era of theoretical physics.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Arnold Sommerfeld

Binary relation

In mathematics, a binary relation associates elements of one set, called the domain, with elements of another set, called the codomain.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Binary relation

Diathermal wall

In thermodynamics, a diathermal wall between two thermodynamic systems allows heat transfer but does not allow transfer of matter across it.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Diathermal wall

Dimension

In physics and mathematics, the dimension of a mathematical space (or object) is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify any point within it.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Dimension

Edward A. Guggenheim

Edward Armand Guggenheim FRS (11 August 1901 – 9 August 1970) was an English physical chemist, noted for his contributions to thermodynamics.

Elsevier

Elsevier is a Dutch academic publishing company specializing in scientific, technical, and medical content.

Entropy

Entropy is a scientific concept that is most commonly associated with a state of disorder, randomness, or uncertainty.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Entropy

Equivalence relation

In mathematics, an equivalence relation is a binary relation that is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Equivalence relation

Euclidean relation

In mathematics, Euclidean relations are a class of binary relations that formalize "Axiom 1" in Euclid's ''Elements'': "Magnitudes which are equal to the same are equal to each other.".

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Euclidean relation

Function (mathematics)

In mathematics, a function from a set to a set assigns to each element of exactly one element of.

James Clerk Maxwell

James Clerk Maxwell (13 June 1831 – 5 November 1879) was a Scottish physicist with broad interests who was responsible for the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, which was the first theory to describe electricity, magnetism and light as different manifestations of the same phenomenon.

James Serrin

James Burton Serrin (1 November 1926, Chicago, Illinois – 23 August 2012, Minneapolis, Minnesota) was an American mathematician, and a professor at University of Minnesota.

Laws of thermodynamics

The laws of thermodynamics are a set of scientific laws which define a group of physical quantities, such as temperature, energy, and entropy, that characterize thermodynamic systems in thermodynamic equilibrium.

Lectures on Theoretical Physics

Lectures on Theoretical Physics is a six-volume series of physics textbooks translated from Arnold Sommerfeld's classic German texts Vorlesungen über Theoretische Physik.

Meghnad Saha

Meghnad Saha (6 October 1893 – 16 February 1956) was an Indian astrophysicist who helped devise the theory of thermal ionisation.

Microstate (statistical mechanics)

In statistical mechanics, a microstate is a specific configuration of a system that describes the precise positions and momenta of all the individual particles or components that make up the system.

Mole (unit)

The mole (symbol mol) is a unit of measurement, the base unit in the International System of Units (SI) for amount of substance, a quantity proportional to the number of elementary entities of a substance.

Ralph H. Fowler

Sir Ralph Howard Fowler (17 January 1889 – 28 July 1944) was a British physicist, astronomer and physical chemist.

Real number

In mathematics, a real number is a number that can be used to measure a continuous one-dimensional quantity such as a distance, duration or temperature.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Real number

Reflexive relation

In mathematics, a binary relation R on a set X is reflexive if it relates every element of X to itself.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Reflexive relation

Second law of thermodynamics

The second law of thermodynamics is a physical law based on universal empirical observation concerning heat and energy interconversions. Zeroth law of thermodynamics and second law of thermodynamics are laws of thermodynamics.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Second law of thermodynamics

Temperature

Temperature is a physical quantity that quantitatively expresses the attribute of hotness or coldness.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Temperature

Temperature measurement

Temperature measurement (also known as thermometry) describes the process of measuring a current temperature for immediate or later evaluation.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Temperature measurement

Thermal equilibrium

Two physical systems are in thermal equilibrium if there is no net flow of thermal energy between them when they are connected by a path permeable to heat.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Thermal equilibrium

Thermodynamic system

A thermodynamic system is a body of matter and/or radiation separate from its surroundings that can be studied using the laws of thermodynamics.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Thermodynamic system

Thermodynamic temperature

Thermodynamic temperature is a quantity defined in thermodynamics as distinct from kinetic theory or statistical mechanics.

See Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Thermodynamic temperature

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 Zeroth law of thermodynamics and Thermometer

Transitive relation

In mathematics, a binary relation on a set is transitive if, for all elements,, in, whenever relates to and to, then also relates to.
