The Rankine temperature scale was created to use degree intervals the same size as those of the Fahrenheit scale, such that a temperature difference of one degree Rankine ( 1 R ) is equal to a difference of 1 ° F, except that absolute zero is 0 R – the same way that the Kelvin temperature scale matches the Celsius scale, except that absolute zero is 0 K. The Fahrenheit scale uses ( in the same manner as the later Celsius scale ) the symbol ° to denote a point on the temperature scale and the letter F to indicate the use of the Fahrenheit scale ( e. g. " Gallium melts at 85. 5763 ° F "), as well as to denote a difference between temperatures or an uncertainty in temperature ( e. g. " The output of the heat exchanger experiences an increase of 72 ° F " and " Our standard uncertainty is ± 5 ° F ").

This classical Kelvin – Stokes theorem relates the surface integral of the curl of a vector field F over a surface Σ in Euclidean three-space to the line integral of the vector field over its boundary ∂ Σ:

These fluctuations are known as Johnson – Nyquist noise or thermal noise and increase in proportion to the Kelvin temperature of any resistive component.

The contraction will proceed until the Hayashi limit is reached, and thereafter contraction will continue on a Kelvin – Helmholtz timescale with the temperature remaining stable.

* 1852 – Joule and Thomson demonstrate that a rapidly expanding gas cools, later named the Joule – Thomson effect or Joule – Kelvin effect

It had been known for many years, from the predictions of Kelvin and Von Helmholtz, and confirmed by the experiments of Fedderssen, that in many cases an electric discharge is of an oscillatory character.

Swami Vivekananda's ideas were admired by scholars such as William James, Josiah Royce, C. C. Everett, Dean of the Harvard School of Divinity, Robert G. Ingersoll, Nikola Tesla, Lord Kelvin, and Professor Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz.

View of the ripples ( Kelvin – Helmholtz instability ) formed by the action of stellar winds on the cloud.

* Kelvin – Helmholtz instability — a phenomenon of fluid mechanics

It is a measure of relative importance of mechanical and density effects in the water column, as described by the Taylor – Goldstein equation, used to model Kelvin – Helmholtz instability which is driven by sheared flows.

It was readily known that such steady flows are not stable, since the vortex sheets develop so-called Kelvin – Helmholtz instabilities.

* Kelvin – Helmholtz instability can occur when velocity shear is present within a continuous fluid or when there is sufficient velocity difference across the interface between two fluids.

* Kelvin – Helmholtz instability ( similar, but different from the diocotron instability in plasmas )

Numerical simulation of a temporal Kelvin – Helmholtz instability

The Kelvin – Helmholtz instability ( after Lord Kelvin and Hermann von Helmholtz ) can occur when there is velocity shear in a single continuous fluid, or where there is a velocity difference across the interface between two fluids.

The Kelvin – Helmholtz mechanism is an astronomical process that occurs when the surface of a star or a planet cools.

The mechanism was originally proposed by Kelvin and Helmholtz in the late 19th century to explain the source of energy of the Sun.

reported the observation of highly energetic Alfven waves combined with energetic spicules which could sustain heating the corona to its million Kelvin temperature.

* Thomson effect, named for William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, which is the heating or cooling of a current-carrying conductor when a temperature gradient is present

Through the efforts of Clausius and Kelvin, it is now known that the maximum work that can be done is the product of the Carnot efficiency and the heat absorbed at the hot reservoir:

Madden-Julian activity can also produce eastward-propagating oceanic Kelvin waves, which may in turn be influenced by a developing El Niño, leading to a positive feedback loop.

In 2009, a team of MIT physicists demonstrated that a lithium gas cooled to less than one Kelvin can exhibit ferromagnetism.

Some have argued that the Rayleigh-Plesset equation described above is unreliable for predicting bubble temperatures and that actual temperatures in sonoluminescing systems can be far higher than 20, 000 Kelvin.

The Kelvin probe can easily cope with the 3D curvature of the cartridge case, increasing the versatility of the technique.

WISE can detect 150 Kelvin brown dwarfs out to 10 light-years.

We can prove in a similar manner that the Kelvin statement implies the Clausius statement, and hence the two are equivalent.

By the Kelvin – Stokes theorem, this equation can also be written in a " differential form ".

As with many other rich galaxy clusters, Virgo's intracluster medium is filled with a hot, rarefied plasma at temperatures of 30 million Kelvin that emits X-Rays, and within it can be found a large number of intergalactic stars ( up to 10 % of the stars in the cluster ), including some planetary nebulae, that it's theorized were expelled of their home galaxies on interactions with other galaxies, as well as some globular clusters, possibly stripped of dwarf galaxies, and even at least one star formation region

The work function homogeneity of the tube can be controlled by a Kelvin probe.

The pulses are similar to a Kelvin wave, except on a scale of 30 to 60 km instead of 1000 km, and can propagate around the cape depending on wind systems.

The Kelvin scale has an absolute null value, and no negative values can naturally occur.

While the standard deviation ( SD ) can be derived on both the Kelvin and the Celsius scale ( with both leading to the same SDs ), the CV is only relevant as a measure of relative variability for the Kelvin scale.

Second, one can use conformal symmetry to understand such classical tricks and techniques for generating harmonic functions as the Kelvin transform and the method of images.

The concentration of the twist-boat conformation at room temperature is very low ( less than 0. 1 %) but at 1073 Kelvin it can reach 30 %.

At the equator, mixed Rossby-gravity and Kelvin waves can also be observed.

The Kelvin – Voigt model, also called the Voigt model, can be represented by a purely viscous damper and purely elastic spring connected in parallel as shown in the picture.

KPFM is a scanning probe method where the potential offset between a probe tip and a surface can be measured using the same principle as a macroscopic Kelvin probe.
