2 unusual facts about Fahrenheit


Mechanical equivalent of heat

In particular Joule had experimented on the amount of mechanical work generated by friction needed to raise the temperature of a pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit and found a consistent value of 772.24 foot pound force (4.1550 J·cal-1).

Turicato

Most notably in the month of May you can see temperatures rise to more than 110 degrees Fahrenheit.


Absolute temperature scale

Rankine scale, an absolute-temperature scale related to the Fahrenheit scale

Castalia, North Carolina

In Castalia, between 60 and 90 days per year are over 86 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the Heat Zone Map published by the American Horticultural Society.

Thermodynamic temperature

1859: William John Macquorn Rankine (1820–1872) proposed a thermodynamic temperature scale similar to William Thomson's but which used the degree Fahrenheit for its unit increment.

The Rankine scale, using the degree Fahrenheit as its unit interval, is still in use as part of the English Engineering Units in the United States in some engineering fields.

ToGetHer

In addition, there are two songs not included in the original soundtrack: The opening theme song, which is "越來越愛" or "Loves You More And More" and the ending theme song "默默" or "Silently", both by Fahrenheit from their 3rd album Love You More and More.
