And the temperature scale that turns out to be well-defined and ends up giving us the concept of an absolute zero is the ideal gas thermometer.

比如理想气体温标,它有精确的定义,并能引出绝对零度的概念,今天我们就先来谈谈它。

And maybe if it some well-defined temperature and pressure.

这两个态可以具备确定的,温度和压强。

Maybe you don't control thermostats in your dorm room, some of you do and some of you don't probably, and maybe it doesn't work very well so it might not be a good example, but imagine a perfect thermostat that you set for a temperature and then the temperature stays the same inside the room no matter what the temperature is outside.

可能你根本就不理卧室里的恒温器,有些人去调它,有些人就置之不理,可能它压根就是坏的,所以这个例子也许并不恰当,但你还是想象一个完美运行的恒温器,你设定温度后房间里的温度就保持不变,不管外面温度是多少

the zeroth law, which is the common-sense law, which says that if you take a hot object next to a cold object, heat will flow from the hot to the cold in a way that is well defined, and it allows you to define temperature.

上节课我们讨论了，热力学第零定律,这一定律源自常识：如果把一个热的物体,与一个冷的物体挨在一起，热量就会以确定的方式。

So in this experiment here, delta p is less than zero. You need to have this whole thing greater than zero. So delta T is less than zero as well. So if you're below the inversion temperature and you do the Joule-Thomson experiment, you're going to end up with something that's colder on this side than that side.

所以在这个实验中，Δp小于零,这全部都大于零,因此ΔT也小于零,所以如果在低于转变,温度的情况下做焦耳-汤姆孙实验,最后的结果是,这边的温度比这边低。
