Convert BTU to liter atmosphere

Learn how to convert 1 BTU to liter atmosphere step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (B T U) = x (l i t e r a t m o s p h e r e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (B T U) = 1055.05585262 (j o u l e) = 1055.05585262 (J)

Right side: 1.0 (l i t e r a t m o s p h e r e) = 101.325 (j o u l e) = 101.325 (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (B T U) = x (l i t e r a t m o s p h e r e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1055.05585262 \times (j o u l e) = x \times 101.325 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1055.05585262 \cdot (J) = x \cdot 101.325 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1055.05585262 \cdot (J) = x \times 101.325 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

1055.05585262 = x \times 101.325

Switch sides

x \times 101.325 = 1055.05585262

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{101.325})

x \times 101.325 \times \frac{1.0}{101.325} = 1055.05585262 \times \frac{1.0}{101.325}

Cancel

x \times 101.325 \times \frac{1.0}{101.325} = 1055.05585262 \times \frac{1.0}{101.325}

Simplify

x = \frac{1055.05585262}{101.325}

Solve

x

x \approx 10.412591686 \approx 10.4126

Conversion Equation

1.0 (B T U) \approx 10.4126 (l i t e r a t m o s p h e r e)
