Temperature and thermal property measurements

This lecture covers the concept of temperature, different temperature scales, and various methods to measure temperature, including mechanical effects, electrical effects, and radiation. It also delves into thermal conductivity measurement and the importance of knowing emissivity. The presentation discusses devices like thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors, along with practical examples and error estimation in temperature measurement. Additionally, it explores Newton's Law of Cooling, Fourier's Law, and techniques for measuring thermal conductivity. The lecture concludes with a summary of key points to consider during thermal experiments.
