Newton scale - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_scaleThe Newton scale is a temperature scale devised by Isaac Newton in 1701. He called his device a "thermometer", but he did not use the term "temperature", speaking of "degrees of heat" (gradus caloris) instead. Newton's publication represents the first attempt to introduce an objective way of measuring (what would come to be called) temperature (alongside the Rømer scalepublished at nearly the same time). Newton likely developed his scale for practical use rather than for a theor…
Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_coolingNewton's law of cooling states that the rate of heat loss of a body is directly proportional to the difference in the temperatures between the body and its surroundings. The law is frequently qualified to include the condition that the temperature difference is small and the nature of heat transfer mechanism remains the same. As such, it is equivalent to a statement that the heat transfer coefficient, which mediates between heat losses and temperature differences, is a cons…
