Temperature by Maxwell

Temperature is behind heat transfer

The fundamental entity behind heat transfer is difference of temperatures.

What is temperature?

Animated molecules
Molecules in motion
Maxwell in the 1850’s theorized that the temperature of a body of matter or gas is coincidental to the individual motions of the body’s own molecules.

The motion of the molecules occurs whether the body be gas such as air or solid such as a piece of rock or even such as your own body.

The molecules themselves are made of atoms, and you will also read that the temperature of a body is made of the motion of its atoms.

Another strike of Maxwell's Genius

Maxwell molecules velocities graph Temperature versus molecule speed.
(A mathematical graph.)
Besides emitting the above idea, Maxwell furthermore provides us with a graph of the averages velocities of a body’s molecules, in which a peak speed coincides to a specific temperature!

A physical cause that is a specific speed of the molecules is now behind a specific temperature.

Gravimotion's point of view

Maxwell pragmatism leaves us speechless.

The imagination of Maxwell provides us with a "simple" picture (left graph) of reality.
The motion of the molecules is the fundamental phenomenon behind our feeling of temperature.

With Maxwell, Entropy becomes a secondary effect

Temperature, a number of degrees, is the abstract effect of a compounded phenomenon that of a great number of molecules in motion.
Invented before Maxwell's discovery, the entropy concept did not involve the molecules physical motions.
As such:
  • Entropy is first the effect of two differing temperatures (see previous page).
  • Then the phenomenon of temperature itself is the effect of compounding a great number of individual molecules motions.
Entropy, besides not being a physical entity, is also the effect of an effect.

Maxwell theoretical genius doesn't stop there

Introducing the use of "statistics" Maxwell "links" a specific temperature to a specific speed of the molecules.
Essentially Maxwell provides the means to concisely represent a compounded phenomenon!
Note that in this representation, gone are the individual motions of the molecules. We are now dealing with a compounded representation of a compounded phenomenon.
And any one must admit that in reverse the graph on the left provides no means to draw the individual motions of the molecules!

Summary

Clearly it is Maxwell who uncovered the reality of Nature!
Maxwell discovered the fundamental phenomenon behind temperature that is the motion of the molecules.
Furthermore and as a bonus Maxwell introduced statistics to represent the compounded phenomenon of temperature.
