	====Insulated System====		====Insulated System====

	An insulated system occurs when there is no transfer of heat between the system and the surroundings. Q=0		An insulated system occurs when there is no transfer of heat between the system and the surroundings. Q=0

			====Absolute Zero====
			Absolute zero is the lowest theoretically possible temperature, equal to 0 K, −273.15°C, or −459.67°F. At absolute zero, particles have minimum possible kinetic energy and molecular motion effectively ceases. It is impossible to reach in practice and represents a theoretical lower bound on temperature.

			====Modes of Heat Transfer====
			*'''Conduction''' — Heat transfers through direct molecular contact. Common in solids; metals conduct well while rubber and wood are insulators.

			*'''Convection''' — Heat transfers through bulk fluid movement. Warmer fluid rises, cooler fluid sinks, creating circulation. Example: boiling water.

			*'''Radiation''' — Heat transfers via electromagnetic waves and needs no medium. Example: heat from the Sun reaching Earth.

	~~The idea of~~ Temperature is ~~integral to life. Every morning, millions~~ of ~~people will check the weather for two reasons; to check~~ the ~~Temperature and see if rain is~~ in ~~the forecast~~. We set ~~the Temperature~~ on ~~our~~ ovens ~~daily, select a Temperature on our~~ thermostats, ~~and millions of people will~~ check ~~the~~ weather ~~for two reasons; to check the Temperature~~ and ~~see if rain is~~ in ~~the forecast. Temperature's effects on life are extensive. Thus~~, ~~a thoughtful study of these effects~~ and ~~Temperature is very useful~~ to ~~improve everyday life~~.		Temperature is one of the most universally relevant physical quantities in everyday life. We set temperatures on ovens and thermostats, check weather forecasts, and rely on temperature regulation in medicine, engineering, and food safety. Understanding how temperature relates to thermal energy and heat transfer has broad applications across nearly every scientific and industrial field.

	In the mid 19th century, Rudolf Clausius showed that Rumford's argument and Caloric Theory can be agreeable if the Caloric Theory included the principle of conservation of energy in place of its original principle of conservation of Heat. By doing so, the Caloric Theory was able to be evolved into modern Thermodynamics where Heat is described as the transfer of Thermal Energy, which is equivalent to the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

			Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit developed his temperature scale in 1724, Anders Celsius proposed his scale in 1742, and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) introduced the absolute temperature scale in 1848, anchoring it at absolute zero.
