Consider 2 beakers of water, in one beaker, the temperature of water is above room temperature, and the other is below room temperature. They are left on a table (they are not in contact with each other), after some time, equilibrium is reached. Both beakers of water are at the same temperature. The two beakers become in thermal equilibrium with the surroundings, thus they are in thermal equilibrium with each other, and they are at the same temperature.
I hope that it helps you...

∙ 15y agoIf two thermodynamic systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third, they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other. In other words if two bodies are incontact with a third and they are the same temperature (pressure.... ect.) then it is safe to say that they are also in equilibrium with each other. This law is more of a common sense check.

∙ 11y agoThe zeroth law states that if two systems are both in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they would be in thermal equilibrium with each other if brought into thermal contact.
Two systems are said to be in the relation of "thermal equilibrium" if they are linked by a wall permeable only to heat (in thermal contact), and do not change over time.

Which law of thermodynamics states that when two objects of different temperature are in contact heat energy will flow from the hotter to the cooler object?
newton's 1st law in thermodynamics.....
Is thermometer an example of zeroth law of thermodynamics?
Yes it is.
The zeroth law of thermodynamics pertains to what relational condition that may exist between two systems?
Thermal equilibrium
What law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created or destroyed?
The First Law of Thermodynamics.
What is thermal equlibrium?
If a hot body and a cold body are brought into contact with each other, they finally attain the same temperature. The hot body emits heat while the cold body absorbs energy continually, although in unequal quantities. The exchange process continues until the temperatures equalize. Each object is then absorbing and emitting equal amounts of energy and the objects are said to be in thermal equilibrium.
Why zeroth law is call zeroth law of thermodynamic?
zeroth law forms the basis for first law of thermodynamics

What is the application of zeroth law of thermodynamics?
thermometer

What law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created or destroyed?
The First Law of Thermodynamics.
Why do you have a zeroth law of thermodynamics?
The "zeroeth" law defines thermal equilibrium. It also helps define the concept of temperature. Both of these are prerequisite assumptions and/or concepts that the first and second laws depend on.

Which law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
That law is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy. It is also known as the First Law of Thermodynamics.
Why Zeroth law of thermodynamics is not called as 3 Rd law of thermodynamics though it was discovered after 1 and 2 law?
It was found to be more fundamental than the other laws. It should therefore be the first law, but at that time, renumbering all the laws was deemed impractical, since the terms "First Law" and "Second Law" were already well-established.
Which law of thermodynamics states that the heat engine cannot be completely efficient?
True
What law of thermodynamics states that different forms of energy can be converted into one another?
That's related to the First Law of Thermodynamics - the Law of Conservation of Energy.
