Thermoscope :: Thermoscope (n.) An instrument for indicating changes of temperature without indicating the degree of heat by which it is affected; especially, an instrument contrived by Count Rumford which, as modified by Professor Leslie, was afterward called the differential thermometer..

Thermotension :: Thermotension (n.) A process of increasing the strength of wrought iron by heating it to a determinate temperature, and giving to it, while in that state, a mechanical strain or tension in the direction in which the strength is afterward to be exerted..

Hyperpyrexia :: Hyperpyrexia (n.) A condition of excessive fever; an elevation of temperature in a disease, in excess of the limit usually observed in that disease..

Temperature :: Temperature (n.) Constitution; state; degree of any quality.

Isocryme :: Isocryme (n.) A line connecting points on the earth's surface having the same mean temperature in the coldest month of the year.

Frost :: Frost (v. i.) The state or temperature of the air which occasions congelation, or the freezing of water; severe cold or freezing weather..

Isogeotherm :: Isogeotherm (n.) A line or curved surface passing beneath the earth's surface through points having the same mean temperature.

Radiomicrometer :: Radiomicrometer (n.) A very sensitive modification or application of the thermopile, used for indicating minute changes of radiant heat, or temperature..

Isothermobath :: Isothermobath (n.) A line drawn through points of equal temperature in a vertical section of the ocean.

Ultratropical :: Ultratropical (a.) Situated beyond, or outside of, the tropics; extratropical; also, having an excessively tropical temperature; warmer than the tropics..

Isocheim :: Isocheim (n.) A line connecting places on the earth having the same mean winter temperature. Cf. Isothere.

Water Thermometer :: Water thermometer () A thermometer filled with water instead of mercury, for ascertaining the precise temperature at which water attains its maximum density. This is about 39? Fahr., or 4? Centigrade; and from that point down to 32? Fahr., or 0? Centigrade, or the freezing point, it expands..

Isobathythermic :: Isobathythermic (a.) Of or pertaining to an isobathytherm; possessing or indicating the same temperature at the same depth.

Entropy :: Entropy (n.) A certain property of a body, expressed as a measurable quantity, such that when there is no communication of heat the quantity remains constant, but when heat enters or leaves the body the quantity increases or diminishes. If a small amount, h, of heat enters the body when its temperature is t in the thermodynamic scale the entropy of the body is increased by h / t. The entropy is regarded as measured from some standard temperature and pressure. Sometimes called the thermodynamic f

Regulate :: Regulate (v. t.) To adjust, or maintain, with respect to a desired rate, degree, or condition; as, to regulate the temperature of a room, the pressure of steam, the speed of a machine, etc..
