Example 1.12: Conversion from Fahrenheit

Baking a ready-made pizza calls for an oven temperature of 450 °F. If you are in Europe, and your oven thermometer uses the Celsius scale, what is the setting? What is the kelvin temperature?

Solution

\(T\) \(= \mathrm{FtoKscale}(450) \cdot 1.0\)

\(\ \ \ =505.372\ \mathrm{K} \cdot 1.0\)

\(\ \ \ =5.1\times 10^{2}\ \mathrm{K}\)


\(T\) \(= 5.1\times 10^{2}\ \mathrm{K}\)

\(\ \ \ =2.3\times 10^{2}\ \mathrm{°aC}\)
