You just screwed me all up. 32 F + 32 F = 64 F 0 C + 0 C = 0 C HOWEVER it should equal about 17.78 degrees Celsius. Now we 17.78/2 = 8.89 C = 282.04 kelvin.

That is suspiciously close the to 0 C = 273.15 K- however it is also not that close. My whole understanding of temperature has been flip upside down. Wait. This is why I am not an engineer. If we add a glass of liquid that is at 0C/32F/273K to another glass of liquid that is at 0C/32F/273K the temperature will still be 0C/32F/273K. A better way to measure this would be in energy/joules gained/lost- we would also need volume, properties, ect. In this case we are trying to lower 0C by adding 0C. Since the water is already at 0C then there is no energy needed. You about blew my mind; I've never thought of temperature as a number line. http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-185960.html http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-185960.html http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/64505.html http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/64505.html http://www.essex1.com/people/speer/heat.html http://www.essex1.com/people/speer/heat.html My next project will definitely have to be a temperature/volume/energy converter
