Sinossi
Hot Cold explores the fundamental principles of heat and temperature, essential elements for understanding the physical world. It delves into how temperature is measured using various methods, from traditional thermometers to modern sensors, and examines the phenomenon of thermal expansion, explaining why materials change size when heated or cooled. Did you know bridges expand on hot summer days due to thermal expansion? Or that bimetallic strips, utilizing this expansion, are found in thermostats? The book progresses from basic definitions of temperature to more advanced applications, such as managing thermal stress in aerospace engineering and designing efficient engines. It highlights how a deep understanding of thermal physics is crucial for informed decision-making in diverse fields, including climate change predictions. The book makes use of real-world examples to illustrate these key concepts. Ultimately, Hot Cold demonstrates the importance of understanding heat and temperature for everyone from homeowners to engineers, offering insights into everyday technology and global challenges.
