Convert cubic foot of atmosphere to BTU

Learn how to convert 1 cubic foot of atmosphere to BTU step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c u b i c f o o t o f a t m o s p h e r e) = x (B T U)

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

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (c u b i c f o o t o f a t m o s p h e r e) = 2869.2044809344 (j o u l e) = 2869.2044809344 (J)

Right side: 1.0 (B T U) = 1054.5 (j o u l e) = 1054.5 (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c u b i c f o o t o f a t m o s p h e r e) = x (B T U)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2869.2044809344 \times (j o u l e) = x \times 1054.5 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2869.2044809344 \cdot (J) = x \cdot 1054.5 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2869.2044809344 \cdot (J) = x \times 1054.5 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

2869.2044809344 = x \times 1054.5

Switch sides

x \times 1054.5 = 2869.2044809344

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1054.5})

x \times 1054.5 \times \frac{1.0}{1054.5} = 2869.2044809344 \times \frac{1.0}{1054.5}

Cancel

x \times 1054.5 \times \frac{1.0}{1054.5} = 2869.2044809344 \times \frac{1.0}{1054.5}

Simplify

x = \frac{2869.2044809344}{1054.5}

Solve

x

x \approx 2.7209146334 \approx 2.7209

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c u b i c f o o t o f a t m o s p h e r e) \approx 2.7209 (B T U)
