Thermal Physics

This document discusses key concepts in thermal physics including that pressure times volume is proportional to temperature, that pressure times volume is constant for a fixed mass of gas undergoing changes, and that energy equals mass times change in temperature. It also lists three common methods for measuring temperature: using the expansion of a fixed mass of liquid, changes in the resistance of a metal, and the expansion of gas at constant pressure.
