...Temperature. The temperature of a body may be defined as its thermal state considered from the standpoint of its ability to communicate heat to other bodies. When two bodies are placed in thermal communication, the one that loses heat to the other is said to be at the higher temperature....

...CONCEPT OF TEMPERATURE Temperature may be defined as follows : • It is the thermal state of a body considered with reference to its ability to communicate heat to other bodies. • It is that property of a system which determines whether or not it is in thermal equilibrium with...

...Maxwell has given a definition of temperature which says that "The temperature of a body is its thermal state considered with reference to its ability to communicate heat to other bodies" (Ref. l).* With this definition in mind, it is apparent that there is no such thing as direct measurement...
