  2. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of...

    Comparison of temperature scales. * Normal human body temperature is 36.8 °C ±0.7 °C, or 98.2 °F ±1.3 °F. The commonly given value 98.6 °F is simply the exact conversion of the nineteenth-century German standard of 37 °C. Since it does not list an acceptable range, it could therefore be said to have excess (invalid) precision.

  3. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    For example, the freezing point of water is 0 °C and 32 °F, and a 5 °C change is the same as a 9 °F change. Thus, to convert from units of Fahrenheit to units of Celsius, one subtracts 32 °F (the offset from the point of reference), divides by 9 °F and multiplies by 5 °C (scales by the ratio of units), and adds 0 °C (the offset from the ...

  4. Fahrenheit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit

    When converting a temperature interval between the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales, only the ratio is used, without any constant (in this case, the interval has the same numeric value in kelvins as in degrees Celsius): f °F to c °C or k K: c = k = ⁠ f / 1.8 ⁠ c °C or k K to f °F: f = c × 1.8 = k × 1.8

  5. Growing degree-day - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growing_degree-day

    GDD C = 5/9 * GDD F. The equivalent unit compliant with the International System of Units is the kelvin-second. A quantity of kelvin-seconds is four orders of magnitude higher than the corresponding degree day (1 Celsius degree-day is 8.64×10 4 K·s; 1 Fahrenheit degree-day is 4.8×10 4 K·s).

  6. Faraday constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_constant

    F = ⁠ N A / 1/e ⁠ = 9.648 533 212 331 001 84 × 10 4 C⋅mol −1. One common use of the Faraday constant is in electrolysis calculations. One can divide the amount of charge (the current integrated over time) by the Faraday constant in order to find the chemical amount of a substance (in moles) that has been electrolyzed.

  7. Heating degree day - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_degree_day

    Since a 1 °C temperature change and a 1 K change in absolute temperature are the same, these cancel and no conversion is required. Example: For a typical New York City winter day with high of 40 °F and low of 30 °F, the average temperature is likely to be around 35 °F. For such a day we can approximate the HDD as (65 − 35) = 30.

  8. Calorimeter constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimeter_constant

    Calorimeter constant. A calorimeter constant (denoted Ccal) is a constant that quantifies the heat capacity of a calorimeter. It may be calculated by applying a known amount of heat to the calorimeter and measuring the calorimeter's corresponding change in temperature. In SI units, the calorimeter constant is then calculated by dividing the ...

  9. Z-value (temperature) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-value_(temperature)

    Z-value is a term used in microbial thermal death time calculations. It is the number of degrees the temperature has to be increased to achieve a tenfold (i.e. 1 log 10) reduction in the D-value. The D-value of an organism is the time required in a given medium, at a given temperature, for a ten-fold reduction in the number of organisms.
