For any heatdriven, energy conversion system which we can construct, it can be shown, using the laws of thermodynamics, that the efficiency cannot be greater than that of a carnot. Using absolute temperature scale we can measure the temperature 273k373k. More specifically, we can define a thermodynamic temperature scale that is independent of the working medium. By international agreement, absolute zero is defined as precisely. Electrons still move in the lowest energy state of an atom, just as atoms still vibrate in the lowest temperature state of a solid. This ideal scale differs slightly from practical temperature scales used for physical measurements. Mole is the unit of substance and is theamount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are in atoms 0. Thermodynamic temperature can be converted to temperature on the celsius scale. Introduction to thermodynamics temperature scales, absolute zero. As you remove heat from a substance, its temperature drops. Although the celsius scale is based on the kelvin scale, it does not measure absolute temperature because its units are not relative to absolute zero. This will define the temperature on an absolute scale. In this scale lower fixed point is marked as 237k and upper fixed point marked as 373k. The third law of thermodynamics states that the absolute zero is the coldest temperature possible.
Absolute temperature, the fundamental temperature scale in thermodynamics, is usually bound to be positive. Because it was a real thermodynamic absolute temperature scale, it could be constructed from a single fixed calibration point once the degree size had been chosen.
