Facets:
value: in thermodynamic terms
type: OTHER
Source sentences:
text: In thermodynamic terms, the temperature is an intensive variable because it is equal to a differential coefficient of one extensive variable with respect to another, for a given body.
text: This distinction is expressed by saying that temperature is an intensive property, a property independent of the size of the sample; whereas energy content is an extensive property, a property that does depend on the size of the sample.
text: Assuming that the temperature T is an intensive quantity, i.e., a single-valued, continuous and differentiable function of three-dimensional space (often called a scalar field), i.e., that
text: Temperature, similar to pressure or density, is called an intensive property—one that is independent of the quantity of matter being considered—as distinguished from extensive properties, such as mass or volume.
text: Thus, when local thermodynamic equilibrium prevails in a body, the temperature can be regarded as a spatially varying local property in that body, and this is because the temperature is an intensive variable.
