1. classical thermo- dynamics 2. 0th law of ther- modynamics describes macroscopic systems in equilibrium in terms of a few measurable variables If two systems are in thermodynamic equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. 3. thermoscope a precursor to the thermometer - if the third body from the 0th law is heated and changes visibly, then it can be used as one of these to verify equality of temperature or to rank bodies according to temperatu...
