This quantity is the intensive natural variable of Helmholtz free energy.
This quantity is the intensive natural variable of Helmholtz free energy. In statistical mechanics, the canonical ensemble holds this quantity constant. The internal energy due to a quadratic degree of freedom is proportional to this quantity according to the equipartition theorem, which sets that energy as one-half Boltzmann's constant times this quantity. The negative conductivity times the gradient of this quantity appears on one side of Fourier's law. Black body radiation is proportional to this quantity raised to the fourth power according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law. Entropy is multiplied by this quantity when calculating Gibbs free energy. Heat capacity measures the energy necessary to change this quantity. For 10 points, name this quantity measured in Kelvins.
