What is the formula to convert from Réaumur to Newton?

The formula to convert temperature value from the unit of Réaumur to the unit of Newton is:

Temperature(Newton) = (Temperature(Réaumur) × 33 / 80)

Réaumur unit in Temperature

The Réaumur scale, established by French scientist René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur in 1730, sets the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point at 80 degrees. This scale was historically important in parts of Europe, particularly in France and Germany, where it was used for various scientific and industrial purposes, such as in the production of cheese and alcohol. Although it has largely been replaced by the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, the Réaumur scale remains a point of historical interest, especially in studies of early scientific instrumentation and temperature measurement techniques.

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.
