  2. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

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

    To convert a delta temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, the formula is {ΔT} °F = ⁠ 9 / 5 ⁠ {ΔT} °C. To convert a delta temperature from degrees Celsius to kelvin, it is 1:1 ({ΔT} °C = {ΔT} K).

  3. Calorimeter constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimeter_constant

    [1] [2] 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 change in enthalpy (ΔH) in joules by the change in temperature (ΔT) in kelvins or degrees Celsius:

  4. 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.

  6. Scale of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_temperature

    The degree Celsius (°C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as a unit to indicate a temperature interval (a difference between two temperatures). From 1744 until 1954, 0 °C was defined as the freezing point of water and 100 °C was defined as the boiling point of water, both at a pressure of one standard atmosphere.

    The Department of Energy recommends a low yet comfortable setting, around 68 degrees Fahrenheit in winter, or a range between 68 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. When you head to bed, consider lowering ...

  8. Heat equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation

    The temperature approaches a linear function because that is the stable solution of the equation: wherever temperature has a nonzero second spatial derivative, the time derivative is nonzero as well. The heat equation implies that peaks ( local maxima ) of u {\displaystyle u} will be gradually eroded down, while depressions ( local minima ...

  9. Temperature coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_coefficient

    A temperature coefficient describes the relative change of a physical property that is associated with a given change in temperature.For a property R that changes when the temperature changes by dT, the temperature coefficient α is defined by the following equation:
