Kelvin: Life, Labours and Legacy
'Oxford University Press (OUP)', 2008Co-Authors: Flood Raymond, Mccartney Mark, Whitaker AndrewAbstract:Lord Kelvin was one of the greatest physicists of the Victorian era. Widely known for the development of the Kelvin Scale of temperature measurement, Kelvin's interests ranged across thermodynamics, the age of the Earth, the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable, not to mention inventions such as an improved maritime compass and a sounding device which allowed depths to be taken both quickly and while the ship was moving. He was an academic engaged in fundamentalresearch, while also working with industry and technological advances. He corresponded and collaborated with other emine

fast computer supported experimental determination of absolute zero temperature at school
European Journal of Physics Education, 2014Co-Authors: B F Bogacz, Antoni T PedziwiatrAbstract:A simple and fast experimental method of determining absolute zero temperature is presented. Air gas thermometer coupled with pressure sensor and data acquisition system COACH is applied in a wide range of temperature. By constructing a pressure vs temperature plot for air under constant volume it is possible to obtain - by extrapolation to zero pressure - a reasonable value of absolute zero temperature. The proposed way of conducting experiment allows students to "discover" intuitively the existence of minimal possible temperature and thus to understand the reason for introducing the concept of absolute zero temperature and absolute temperature Kelvin Scale. It is a convincing and straightforward method to enhance understanding the general concept of temperature and support teaching thermodynamics and heat - mainly at secondary schools. This experiment was used with our university students who are being prepared to teach physics in secondary schools. They prepared physics lesson based on this material and then discussed didactic value of this material both for pupils and for teachers.
