temperatureK

temperatureK refers to temperature measured on the Kelvin scale. The Kelvin scale is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale. Absolute zero, the point at which all thermal motion ceases, is defined as 0 K. Unlike Celsius or Fahrenheit, the Kelvin scale does not use a negative sign. A key feature of the Kelvin scale is that its degree unit is the same size as a degree Celsius. Therefore, a change of one Kelvin is equivalent to a change of one degree Celsius. The conversion from Celsius to Kelvin is achieved by adding 273.15. For example, 0 degrees Celsius is equal to 273.15 Kelvin, and 100 degrees Celsius is equal to 373.15 Kelvin. The Kelvin scale is widely used in scientific and engineering fields due to its absolute nature. It is the standard unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). This makes it convenient for calculations in thermodynamics and other areas where absolute temperature values are important.
