Show that the fractional error in ti produced by an error


When the ice point i and the steam point s were chosen as fixed points with 100 degrees between them in the original Celsius scale, the ideal-gas temperature of the ice point was written

θi = 100/(rs-1)

Where rs = lim (Ps/Pi) at constant V.

(a) Show that the fractional error in Ti produced by an error in r, is very nearly 3.73 times the fractional error in rs, or

dTi/Ti = 3.73 drs/rs.

(b) Any ideal-gas temperature may be written

T = Tir,

Where r = lim (P/Pi) at constant V. Show that the fractional error in T is

dT/T = (dr/r) + 3.73 drs/rs

(c) Now that the single fixed point of the ideal-gas temperature is a universal constant, show that the fractional error in T is

dT/T = dr/r,

where r = lim(P/PTP) at constant V.
