Carnot's law. When the steam engine was invented the hot and cold side would use the pressure to compress and decompress heat. "No heat engine can produce work without transporting heat from a heat reservoir from higher to lower temperature". he created a perfect engine, where there is no friction and acceleration, but using compression and

A methodical way of measuring temperature. To compare two thermometers if they were the same ( in-between the 0 and the 100) one part boiling would be mixed with part ice to get the inbetween temperature. They thought that heat was like an actual thing caloric. They thought that it was some sort of fluid between the molecules because there has to be something holding them together and something apart

the first paragraph talks about the diffrent ways to measure temperature and that due to diffrent manufacturing of glass the stuff would show diffrent. Also any material could be used to measure temperature because any liquid expands when heated. But water could not be used because when it is below 0 degrees it would freeze and expand. It talks about the diffrent like ways Fahrenheit. There was a proposition to use
