Delisle to Newton Converter
°De
Calculation: Delisle ➜ Newton
What is the formula to convert from Delisle to Newton?
The formula to convert temperature value from the unit of Delisle to the unit of Newton is:
Temperature(Newton) = 33 - Temperature(Delisle) × 11 / 50
Delisle unit in Temperature
The Delisle scale, introduced by French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle in 1732, is unique in that its temperature values decrease as the temperature increases, making it an inverted temperature scale. Water freezes at 150 degrees and boils at 0 degrees on this scale. The Delisle scale was used primarily in Russia during the 18th century, particularly in astronomy and other scientific fields. Though it is no longer in common use, the Delisle scale is noted for its historical significance and its unique approach to temperature measurement, offering insights into the development of scientific thought in the early modern period.
Newton unit in Temperature
The Newton scale, created by Sir Isaac Newton in the early 18th century, is one of the lesser-known temperature scales. It sets the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point at 33 degrees. While the Newton scale did not achieve widespread adoption, it represents an early effort to create a standardized temperature scale based on natural reference points. Newton's work on this scale laid the groundwork for later developments in temperature measurement and contributed to the broader understanding of thermodynamics and heat transfer during the scientific revolution.
