Temperature measurement using modern scientific thermometers and temperature scales goes back at least as far as the early 18th century, when Gabriel Fahrenheit adapted a thermometer (switching to Mercury) and a scale both developed by Ole Christensen Roomer. Fahrenheit scale is still in use in the USA, with the Celsius scale in use in the rest of the world and the kelvin scale.

Who first discovered heat?
Ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles is credited with first theorizing about the concept of heat in the 5th century BCE. He proposed that the universe was made up of four elements, one of which was fire, believed to be the source of heat. The concept of heat has evolved over time through various scientific discoveries and theories.
What contributions did Sadi Carnot and James Young and Joseph Black and Count Rumford made to the nature of heat?
Sadi Carnot discovered that the transformation of heat into mechanical energy could only occur when thermal energy flows from a hot object to a cool object. he also discovered that in this process some heat was always lost.
What scientist discovered that lighter colored fabric will keep you cooler the darker colors?
Sir John Leslie, a Scottish physicist, discovered that lighter-colored fabric helps keep you cooler than darker colors. This is because lighter colors reflect more sunlight and heat, while darker colors absorb more heat, making the person feel warmer.
Who discovered heat transfer?
I think the pioneer could be said to be Baron Fourier from 1807-22 who formulated conduction in solids mathematically but Newton's Law of Cooling preceded him by almost a hundred years. It says that the rate at which a body cools is proportional to the temperature difference between the body and its surroundings.
In which state was the keyword discovered?
The keyword was discovered in the state of California.
Who discovered that heat is a form of energy?
james prescott joule discovered it
What did James david forbes invent?
He discovered the conduction of heat through iron varied with the heat. He also discovered the polarization of radiat heat by transmission through tourlamine and reflection through latrer. He discovered this with the use of the thermopile.
Who discovered Latent Heat?
Joseph Black

Washington Wizards
What have scientist already discovered about heat and evaporation?
that the more heat u have the quicker the evaporation
What year was specific heat discovered?
The concept of specific heat was discovered in the late 18th century. The pioneering experiments on specific heat were carried out by scientists like Joseph Black and Pierre-Simon Laplace around the 1760s and 1780s, respectively.
What dosn't conduct heat?
So far, nothing has been discovered that can't conduct heat!
What is James Prescott Joule's Discovery?
He discovered Mechanical eqivalent heat ...... durr :P
What is the first source of energy ever discovered?
Wood is the first discovered primary energy source. Some believe that Solar energy (as heat caused by sun light) is the first discovered primary energy source.
Who discovered the stairs to King Tut's tomb?
A workman assisting Howard Carter. The workman was trying to find a place to keep water containers out of the heat and discovered the staris cut into the rock.
Who discovered gelatinization?
The process of gelatinization was not discovered by a single person, but rather through experimentation and observation of how starches and certain grains changed when subjected to heat and moisture. The exact origins of this process are not definitively known.
Did Chinese discovered steel from using coal to heat furnaces?
Yes, the Chinese discovered the process of creating steel by using coal to heat furnaces during the Han Dynasty around 200 BC. This innovation allowed them to produce high-quality steel in larger quantities, which was a significant advancement in metallurgy.
