step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{BTU}{liter}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{joule}{liter}\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(\dfrac{joule}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{BTU}{liter}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.0545 \times 10^{6}\left(\dfrac{joule}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.0545 \times 10^{6}\left(\dfrac{J}{m^{3}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{joule}{liter}\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{3}\left(\dfrac{joule}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{3}\left(\dfrac{J}{m^{3}}\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{BTU}{liter}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{joule}{liter}\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.0545 \times 10^{6}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{joule}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{3}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{joule}{cubic \text{ } meter}\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.0545 \times 10^{6}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{J}{m^{3}}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{3}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{J}{m^{3}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.0545 \times 10^{6}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{J}{m^{3}}\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{3}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{J}{m^{3}}\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0545 \times 10^{6} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 10^{3}\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\(1.0545 \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancelto{10^{3}}{10^{6}}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{3}}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(1.0545 \times 10^{3} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 1.0545 \times 10^{3}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 1054.5 = 1.0545 \times 10^{3}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{BTU}{liter}\right) = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 1.0545 \times 10^{3}}\left(\dfrac{joule}{liter}\right)\)
