absolute temperature [′ab·sə‚lüt ′tem·prə·chür] (thermodynamics) The temperature measurable in theory on the thermodynamic temperature scale. The temperature in Celsius degrees relative to the absolute zero at -273.16°C (the Kelvin scale) or in Fahrenheit degrees relative to the absolute zero at -459.69°F (the Rankine scale).

Absolute temperature control and thermal uniformity
permits cleaning of complex critical hardware with minimal risk of
distortion or metallurgical damage. The reason for this is, in our opinion, the fact that the
stretch is not a tensor, but a parameter characterizing a dynamical
equilibrium, like absolute temperature in the case of ideal gases, for
instance. MDSC/ODSC can
separate total DSC heat flow into the two components, one of which
(reversible) is heating-rate dependent and the other (irreversible) is
dependent only on absolute temperature. |
