Degrees Fahrenheit are a unit of temperature and British Thermal Units are units of heat; in physics, temperature and heat are not the same thing (although they are synonymous in normal English usage). To explain, the heat content of an object depends upon both the temperature and the heat capacity of that object, so for example, one liter of water has only half the heat capacity of two liters of water; even if your one liter container is at exactly the same temperature as the two liter container, it still has only half the heat content as measured in BTUs. So, since these units do not measure the same thing, they cannot be converted into eachother.

How many btu's to heat 1 POUND OF water 1 degree?
To heat 1 pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit, you need 1 British Thermal Unit (BTU). This is based on the definition of a BTU, which is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at a constant pressure.
Convert 233 k to degree Fahrenheit?
-40.27. To convert kelvin to Fahrenheit, multiply the Kelvin temp. by 9/5, then subtract 459.67.
Convert 61 degrees Fahrenheit to celsius?
16.11 degree centigrade
How do you convert degrees celsius to degree Fahrenheit?
Use this formula to convert degrees Celsius (oC) to degrees Fahrenheit (oF):(oC x 1.8) +32 = oF
Can you convert Fahrenheit degrees to Kelvin degrees?
Yes. 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees are equal to 1 Kelvin degree.
