0.2 Absolute Scale of Temperature

The document discusses the thermodynamic or absolute scale of temperature, emphasizing that the efficiency of a reversible engine is independent of the substance used. It introduces Lord Kelvin's definition of an absolute temperature scale based on the work done by an engine operating between two temperature points. The document also explains the empirical relationship for temperature and the unit definitions related to the Carnot engine operating between ice and steam temperatures.
