The hotter the pile gets, the more often added air and water is necessary ; the air / water balance is critical to maintaining high temperatures ( 135 °- 160 ° Fahrenheit / 50 °-70 ° Celsius ) until the materials are broken down.

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit ( 24 May 1686 – 16 September 1736 ) was a Dutch-German-Polish physicist, engineer, and glass blower who is best known for inventing the alcohol thermometer ( 1709 ) and the mercury thermometer ( 1714 ), and for developing a temperature scale now named after him.

The Fahrenheit scale later was redefined to make the freezing-to-boiling interval exactly 180 degrees, a convenient value as 180 is a highly composite number, meaning that it is evenly divisible into many fractions.

Fahrenheit 451 is a 1953 dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury.

First published in 1953 by Ballantine Books, Fahrenheit 451 is twice as long as " The Fireman ".

Bradbury went even further to elaborate his meaning, saying specifically that the culprit in Fahrenheit 451 is not the state — it is the people.

Fahrenheit is the temperature scale proposed in 1724 by, and named after, the physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit ( 1686 – 1736 ).

On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (° F ) and the boiling point 212 ° F ( at standard atmospheric pressure ).

Therefore, a degree on the Fahrenheit scale is of the interval between the freezing point and the boiling point.

The Rankine temperature scale was created to use degree intervals the same size as those of the Fahrenheit scale, such that a temperature difference of one degree Rankine ( 1 R ) is equal to a difference of 1 ° F, except that absolute zero is 0 R – the same way that the Kelvin temperature scale matches the Celsius scale, except that absolute zero is 0 K. The Fahrenheit scale uses ( in the same manner as the later Celsius scale ) the symbol ° to denote a point on the temperature scale and the letter F to indicate the use of the Fahrenheit scale ( e. g. " Gallium melts at 85. 5763 ° F "), as well as to denote a difference between temperatures or an uncertainty in temperature ( e. g. " The output of the heat exchanger experiences an increase of 72 ° F " and " Our standard uncertainty is ± 5 ° F ").

Until the switch to the Celsius scale, the Fahrenheit scale was widely used in Europe.

In his initial scale ( which is not the final Fahrenheit scale ), the zero point is determined by placing the thermometer in brine: he used a mixture of ice, water, and ammonium chloride, a salt, at a 1: 1: 1 ratio.

In some countries, Fahrenheit may be used in daily life alongside Celsius.

* The boiler horsepower is used for rating steam boilers and is equivalent to 34. 5 pounds of water evaporated per hour at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, or 9, 809. 5 watts.

Zero on both the Kelvin and Rankine scales is absolute zero, but the Rankine degree is defined as equal to one degree Fahrenheit, rather than the one degree Celsius used by the Kelvin scale.

Most notably Fahrenheit where it is used to allow a player to keep track of multiple simultaneous elements relevant to the gameplay.

Other fixed points were used in the past are the body temperature ( of a healthy adult male ) which was originally used by Fahrenheit as his upper fixed point ( to be a number divisible by 12 ) and the lowest temperature given by a mixture of salt and ice, which was originally the definition of.

( Different results would be obtained if one used Fahrenheit rather than Celsius for example.

The Alton Estate has featured as a film and television location, Fahrenheit 451 ( 1966 ) used some of the estate as its backdrop for a bleak dystopian society of the future, and Thames Television's film division Euston Films used the Danebury Avenue area of the estate to film the opening scene's of Sweeney 2 ( 1978 )-the sequel to the film Sweeney!

The thermometer was used by the originators of the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales.

Negative numbers are used to describe values on a scale that goes below zero, such as the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales for temperature.

SGI was to provide the primary " mid-sized " API used in most applications, Fahrenheit Scene Graph, as well as a modified version for handling very large models from CAD applications, Fahrenheit Large Model.

The song " The Revolution Starts Now " was used in the promotional materials for Michael Moore's anti-war documentary film Fahrenheit 9 / 11 and appears on the album Songs and Artists That Inspired Fahrenheit 9 / 11.

Video of Smith anchoring on Fox News Channel during the opening moments of the March 2003 Iraq War was also used in the film Fahrenheit 9 / 11.

This gesture was used in François Truffaut's 1966 film Fahrenheit 451.

The PowerPC 970FX used a 90 nm manufacturing process and has a maximum power rating of 11 watts at 149 degrees Fahrenheit ( 65 ° C ) while clocked at 1 GHz and a maximum of 48 watts at 2 GHz.

Legal definition of a " junk gun " usually restricts the materials that can be used in the manufacture of said gun, targeting zinc castings, low melting points ( usually 800 degrees Fahrenheit ), powder metallurgy, and other low-cost manufacturing techniques.

Televised weather reports are given in Fahrenheit for dew point and air temperatures, miles per hour for windspeed, inches of mercury for atmospheric pressure ( millibars are used only when reporting tropical phenomena such as hurricanes ), and other customary units.

Seventeen of the early-filmed scenes from the documentary were used in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9 / 11.

Fahrenheit 9 / 11 also used footage of Moore confronting various members of Congress, encouraging them to enlist their own children to fight in Iraq.

Fahrenheit remains the official scale of the United States, Cayman Islands and Belize.

Fahrenheit also remains in occasional use in the United Kingdom, with some newspaper and online weather reports quoting temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit ( or having an option to enable this ), especially during record-breaking weather.

The city also holds the March record high for the United States at 108 degrees Fahrenheit.

In Fahrenheit 911, Moore makes nine allegations concerning the Carlyle Group, including: That the Bin Laden and Bush families were both connected to the Group ; that following the attacks on September 11, the bin Laden family ’ s investments in the Carlyle Group became an embarrassment to the Carlyle Group and the family was forced to liquidate their assets with the firm ; that the Carlyle group was, in essence, the 11th largest defense contractor in the United States.

In the United States, R-values are customarily given in units of British thermal units per hour per square-foot degrees Fahrenheit ( Btu / h · ft² ·° F ).

On 10 August 2003, Gravesend recorded one of the highest temperatures since records began in the United Kingdom, with a reading of 38. 1 degrees Celsius ( 100. 6 degrees Fahrenheit ), only beaten by Brogdale, near Faversham, to the ESE.

The following table lists the highest and lowest temperatures recorded in each state in the United States, in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.

After its release, The Power of Nightmares received multiple comparisons to Fahrenheit 9 / 11, American film-maker Michael Moore's 2004 critique on the first four years of George W. Bush's presidency of the United States.

* The hottest temperature ever measured in the United States was 134 Fahrenheit ( 56. 7 ° C ) at Death Valley, California on July 10, 1913
