{i} Lord Kelvin, title of William Thompson (1824-1907), British physicist and mathematician who developed the Kelvin scale of temperature; unit of absolute temperature equal to 1/273.16 of the Kelvin scale temperature of the triple point of water
British physicist who developed the Kelvin scale of temperature (1848) and supervised the laying of a trans-Atlantic cable (1866). K a scale of temperature in which water freezes at 273.15 K and boils at 373.15 K (William Kelvin)
Metric unit for thermodynamic temperature An absolute temperature scale in which the zero point is defined as absolute zero (the point where all spontaneous molecular activity ceases) and the scale divisions are equal to the scale divisions in the Celsius system; in the Kelvin system, the scale divisions are not referred to as degrees as they are in other temperature measurement systems but as kelvins; 0 C equals approximately 273 16 K
A scale that measures an object's temperature over absolute zero, the theoretical coolest temperature where all molecular and atomic motion ceases On the Kelvin scale, the freezing point of water is 273 (273 K = 0o C = 32o F)
Unit of measurement for color temperature The Kelvin scale starts from absolute zero, which is -273° Celsius
the basic unit of thermodynamic temperature adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites
An absolute measure of tempurature Absolute zero, or zero K, is the temperature at which molecules stop vibrating The amount of energy represented in one degree Celcius is the same as that in one degree Kelvin
In this scheme, water freezes at 273 degrees K, and boils at 373 K The coldest temperature possible is 0 K, also known as absolute zero
In the International System of Units, the base unit of thermodynamic temperature; 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water
the unit or scale of absolute temperature
Unit of measurement of color temperature The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero (-273¡ Celsius)
Basic SI unit of thermodynamic temperature
Unit of temperature equal in size to the Celsius degree, but with the zero set by the absolute zero of temperature, -273 15°C Ice freezes at 273 K, room temperature is about 293 K, and water boils at 373 K, at sea level human body temperature is 310 K
British physicist who invented the Kelvin scale of temperature and pioneered undersea telegraphy (1824-1907)
A measure of color temperature
Abbreviated K A unit of absolute temperature Zero degrees Celsius is equal to 273 Kelvin Zero Kelvin is "absolute zero" - the coldest temperature possible
Symbol K The unit of absolute or thermodynamic temperature scale based upon the Celsius scale with 100 units between the ice point and boiling point of water 0°C = 273 15K (there is no degree (°) symbol used with the Kelvin scale)
an absolute scale of temperature (Kelvin Scale) in which the degree intervals are equal to those of the Celsius scale and in which 0º or absolute zero equals 273 16º C; symbol is K (Color temperature of light is measured in Kelvin)
A ratio temperature scale using 0 as the theoretical coldest temperature
A temperature scale used in sciences such as astronomy to measure extremely cold temperatures The Kelvin temperature scale is just like the Celsius scale except that the freezing point of water, zero degrees Celsius, is equal to 273 degrees Kelvin Absolute zero, the coldest known temperature, is reached at 0 degrees Kelvin or -273 16 degrees Celsius
A measurement of temperature which is derived from the the celsius scale, but begins at absolute zero[?]: -273 degrees celsius The increments of the scale are identical to the celsius scale Because nothing can be colder than absolute zero, the kelvin scale does not need negative values
a temperature scale often used in sciences such as astronomy The Kelvin temperature scale is just like the Celsius scale except that the freezing point of water, zero degrees Celsius, is equal to 273 degrees Kelvin [ K = C + 273 degrees => F = 9/5C + 32 degrees ] (See also text in GMC )
Zero K is absolute zero; ice melts at 273 K (0° C, 32° F); water boils at 373 K ( 100° C, 212° F)
the SI (Standard International) unit of temperature A degree symbol is not used One Kelvin equals one degree Celsius, but the base temperature of Kelvin is absolute zero (-273° C), where there is absolutely no movement of molecules at all Knot: a measure of speed equal to the velocity of one nautical mile traveled in one hour Usually used in marine studies One knot equals 1 151 miles per hour or 1 852 kilometers per hour
A unit of absolute temperature
British physicist who invented the Kelvin scale of temperature and pioneered undersea telegraphy (1824-1907) the basic unit of thermodynamic temperature adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites
Abbreviated K A unit of absolute temperature Zero degrees Celsius is equal to 273 16 Kelvin
the temperature unit based on the theoretical minimum temperature, used in many physical calculations The relationship between Kelvin and Celsius is
A unit of thermodynamic temperature, taken as one of the base units of the International System of Units (SI)   The kelvin is defined by setting the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water at 273 16 K   Note 1: The kelvin was formerly called "degree Kelvin " The term "degree Kelvin" is now obsolete   No degree symbol is written with K, the symbol for kelvin(s)   Note 2: In measuring temperature intervals, the degree Celsius is equal to the kelvin   The Celsius temperature scale is defined by setting 0 °C equal to 273 16 K
The kelvin unit of thermodynamic temperature, is the fraction 1/273,16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water The triple point of water is the equilibrium temperature (o,01 °C or 273,16 K) between pure ice, air free water and water vapor (099)
Unit of thermodynamic temperature 1/273 16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water
Kelvin bridge
a specialized form of a Wheatstone bridge network designed to eliminate the effect of lead and contact resistance and thus permit accurate measurement of low resistances
Kelvin function
A class of special functions usually denoted as two pairs of functions bern(x), bein(x), kern(x) and kein(x) with variable x and given order number n. The former two functions bern(x) and bein(x) respectively correspond to the real part and the imaginary part of the Kelvin differential equation's solution that can be expressed with the Bessel function of the first kind Jn(x), and the latter kern(x) and kein(x) correspond to those that can be expressed with the modified Bessel function of the second kind Kn(x)
Kelvin functions
plural form of Kelvin function
Kelvin scale
A scale for measuring temperature, with zero defined as absolute zero, with kelvins as the units (equivalent to degrees Celsius)

The Kelvin scale is the standard scale for many scientific fields, but the related Celsius scale is handier for everyday life on Earth.

William Thomson Baron Kelvin
The next year he was awarded the chair of natural philosophy at the University of Glasgow, where he remained until retiring in 1899. He helped develop the second law of thermodynamics, and in 1848 he invented the absolute temperature scale named after him (see absolute zero). He served as chief consultant for the laying of the first Atlantic cable (1857-58). His patent for a mirror galvanometer for receiving telegraph signals (1858) made him wealthy. His work in electricity and magnetism led ultimately to James Clerk Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism. He also contributed to the determination of the age of the Earth and the study of hydrodynamics. He was raised to the peerage in 1892. He published more than 600 scientific papers and received dozens of honorary degrees
