Temperature and heat measurements play significant roles in virtually every scientific, engineering, medical and technological discipline.

Heat is a form of energy attributable to molecular or atomic vibration and motion. Heat is transferred from hot objects to cooler by radiation, conduction, and convection. Heat transfer between masses is measured by observing the change in temperature of the masses exchanging energy and “specific heat” is the value relating heat difference per unit of mass to the observed ...
