T (R) = 1.8T (K) or 1 K = 1.8 R
T (oF) = 1.8T (oC) + 32
T (K) = 273.15 + T (oC)
T (R) = 459.67 + T (oF)
1 J = 1 N-m = 107 ergs
1 kJ = 0.947817 Btu
1 Btu = 778.169 ft-lbf = 1.055056 kJ
1 cal (International Table) = 4.1868 J
1 atm-m3 = 101.325 kJ
1 kJ/kg = 0.429923 Btu/lbm = 334.553 ft-lbf/lbm
1 Btu/lbm = 2.236 kJ/kg = 0.555556 cal/g
1 Btu/lbmol = 2.236 kJ/kmol
1 kJ/kmol = 0.429923 Btu/lbmol
1 cal/gmol = 4.1868 kJ/kmol
1 W = 1 J/s
1 kW = 3412.14 Btu/h
1 hp = 550 ft-lbf/s = 2544.43 Btu/h
1 kJ/kg-K = 0.2388 Btu/lbm-R
1 Btu/lbm-R = 4.1868 kJ/kg-K
1 kJ/kmol-K = 0.23388 Btu/lbmol-R
1 Btu/lbmol-R = 4.1868 kJ/kmol-K
1 mile/h (mph) = 1.467 ft/s = 0.4470 m/s
