    Archived from the original on 29 June 2011. Retrieved 22 December 2010. Caçador has the lowest recorded temperature, officially, in Brazil, of −14 °C in 1952. Another record, unofficial, of −17.8 °C in 1996-06-29, at the summit of Morro da Igreja, Urubici, also in Santa Catarina, would give the record to this locality.

  4. Human body temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_temperature

    v. t. e. Normal human body temperature ( normothermia, euthermia) is the typical temperature range found in humans. The normal human body temperature range is typically stated as 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F). [8] [9] Human body temperature varies. It depends on sex, age, time of day, exertion level, health status (such as illness and ...

  5. Celsius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsius

    History Anders Celsius's original thermometer used a reversed scale, with 100 as the freezing point and 0 as the boiling point of water.. In 1742, Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744) created a temperature scale that was the reverse of the scale now known as "Celsius": 0 represented the boiling point of water, while 100 represented the freezing point of water.

  6. Prandtl number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl_number

    Formula for the calculation of the Prandtl number of air and water. For air with a pressure of 1 bar, the Prandtl numbers in the temperature range between −100 °C and +500 °C can be calculated using the formula given below. The temperature is to be used in the unit degree Celsius.

    Since 1982, STP has been defined as a temperature of 273.15 K (0 °C, 32 °F) and an absolute pressure of exactly 10 5 Pa (100 kPa, 1 bar ). NIST uses a temperature of 20 °C (293.15 K, 68 °F) and an absolute pressure of 1 atm (14.696 psi, 101.325 kPa). [3] This standard is also called normal temperature and pressure (abbreviated as NTP ).

  8. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    is the number of particles (usually atoms or molecules) of the gas. In SI units , p is measured in pascals , V is measured in cubic metres , n is measured in moles , and T in kelvins (the Kelvin scale is a shifted Celsius scale , where 0.00 K = −273.15 °C, the lowest possible temperature ).

  9. Rankine scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_scale

    A temperature of 0 K (−273.15 °C; −459.67 °F) is equal to 0 °R. Usage. The Rankine scale is used in engineering systems where heat computations are done using degrees Fahrenheit. The symbol for degrees Rankine is °R (or °Ra if necessary to distinguish it from the Rømer and Réaumur scales).
