One might expect the frequency factor A for desorption to be around 10 sec (note Eq. XVII-2). Much smaller values are sometimes found, as in the case of the desorption of Cs from Ni surfaces [133], for which the adsorption lifetime obeyed the equation r = 1.7x 10 exp(3300// r) sec R in calories per mole per degree Kelvin). A suggested explanation was that surface diffusion must occur to desorption sites for desorption to occur. Conversely, A factors in the range of lO sec have been observed and can be accounted for in terms of strong surface orientational forces [134]. 

The coefficient k, expressed in J sec cm is the quantity of heat in joules, transmitted per second through a sample one centimeter in thickness and one square centimeter in area when the temperature difference between the two sides is one degree kelvin (or Celsius). The tabulated values are in microjoules. To convert to microcalories, divide values by 4.184. To convert to mW m divide values by 10. 

In this expression, cos 0 is the average value of cos 0 the weighting factor used to evaluate the average is given by the Boltzmann factor exp(-V /RT), where R is the gas constant in the units of and T is in degrees Kelvin. Note that the correction factor introduced by these considerations reduces to unity if... 

Remember that in this relationship, as in all thermodynamic equations, temperature must be expressed in degrees Kelvin. 

For the bolometer detector having the above characteristics and operating withf 1 optics (/ = 1) the peak to peak temperature change of the a-Si film is approximately 3 mK per one degree kelvin change in scene temperature. 

In 1954, the 10th CGPM added the degree Kelvin as the unit of temperature and the candela as the unit of luminous intensity. At the time of the 11th CGPM in 1960, this new system with six base units was formalized with the tide International System of Units. Its abbreviation in all languages is SI, from the French l e Sjstume International d Unitus. 

Before the 13th CGPM in 1967, when this definition was adopted, the unit was called the degree Kelvin (symbol °K, now K).

Heat transfer between gas and sohds is exceedingly hard to measure because it is so rapid. Although the coefficient is low, the available surface area and the relative specific heat of solid to gas are so large that temperature equilibration occurs almost instantaneously. Experiments on injection of argon plasmas into fluidized beds have shown quenching rates of up to fifty million degrees Kelvin per second. Thus, in a properly designed bed, gas to solids heat transfer is not normally a matter of concern.

One widely used temperature sensor is the integrated circuit /VD590 introduced by Analog Devices. It generates a current whose value in (J.A (microamperes) is equal to the temperature in degrees Kelvin (K). 

T(hot) is the temperature on the hot side of the engine. T(cold) is the temperature on the cold side of the engine. These temperatures must be measured in absolute degrees (Kelvin or Rankine). 

The boiling points and freezing points in degrees Centigrade of certain liquids are listed below. Express these temperatures on the absolute temperature (degree Kelvin) scale.
