BIOGRAPHY GABRIEL FAHRENHEIT

Biography Of Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. He is best known as the inventor of Tempratur Fahrenheit. He was born May 24, 1686 was a Germany physicist. Fahrenheit was born in Danzig, Poland, as the eldest of five children. His father is the trader who brings his family life to some cities of the Hansa in Europe to pursue wealth. Both parents Fahrenheit died suddenly because of eating the mushroom is poisonous when he was 16 years old. Since that time, he left his studies and work on the trading company in Amsterdam. In his spare time, Fahrenheit continue to experiment. Her work brings the European Touring and Fahrenheit became acquainted with renowned academic personalities such as Gottfried Leibenz and Christian Wolff. In 1718, he quit teaching and improvements in Amsterdam. He found the first scheme Fahrenheit in 1724.

in 1720, after conducting a variety of research. He found that the unemployment of the mercury in the manufacture of tools will ensure the accuracy of the temperature measurement. The degree of the temperature used in the thermometer is then given the name "Fahrenheit", after the name of his invention. Fahrenheit died in 1736.

There is some debate about how the Fahrenheit temperature scale is thought of. There are States that Fahrenheit determine zero point (0 degrees Fahrenheit) and 100 degrees F on a scale of temperature by means of temperature records outside the lowest temperature can be measured and badanya yourself. Temperature outside low he set as the zero point was measured at the time of the winter of 1708 1709 by in his hometown, Gdansk (danzig) (-17.8 degrees Celsius).

Fahrenheit to avoid negative temperature scale which Ole Ramer often show negative temperature in everyday use. Fahrenheit, decided that the body temperature is 100 degrees f. normal body temperature is approaching 98.6 degrees F, mean Fahrenheit was fever when experiments or termometernya is not accurate.

There is also the effect that Fahrenheit determine zero point (0 degrees F) on his scale as the temperature where the same mix between ice and salt melting temperature 96 degrees as his blood (he was originally using horse blood to signify his scale). His scale consists of 12 divisions, but he then divide each division into 8 equal subdivisions, and mengahsilkan scale 96 degrees. He found that the water (without any mixture) will freeze at a temperature of 32 degrees and boils at a temperature of 212 degrees.

A third opinion is that most known stories, as depicted on the television series popular physics The Mechanical Universe. The series it states that Fahrenheit scale adopted Ramer which water freezes at a temperature of 7.5 degrees and multiplies each value with 4 for mengeliminsai pacahan and upgrades its granularity of the scale (generate 30 and 240 degrees).

Later, he returns to determine his scale between the freezing point of water and the normal temperature of the human body (he took 96 degrees); the freezing point of the water determined 32 derjat so there are 64 intervals would divide the two so she can mark the line of the degrees at the Prod by dividing the interval two twice. These are not all accurate. By using the scale initially, the freezing point and the boiling point of water is sebernarnya will be different with 32 degrees F and 212 degrees f.

Some time after the death of Fahrenheit, it was decided to again indicate his scale with 32 derjat F and 212 degrees F as the freezing point and the boiling point of pure water. This change facilitates the conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa by using a simple formula. This change also explains why the temperature of the body never once determined 96 or 100 degrees F by Fahrenheit now determined 98.6 degrees F by many parties, even though the value of 98 degrees F would be more accurate.

The fourth story is a story that is not so well known about the origins of the Fahrenheit scale. This scale is told that determined its own Fahrenheit became a member of the Organization of the fraternity of Freemasonry. In the Organization of land, there are 32 levels of illumination, 32 being the highest. The use of the word degree (degrees or levels) itself is said to be taken from the levels in the organization. This may be beyond coincidence, but there is no evidence to show the truth of the matter.

Fifth version tells that 0 degrees Fahrenheit to determine based on the temperature of frozen human will die because of the cold 100 degrees is the temperature of human beings are going to die because of the heat. For that reason, 0 to 100 shows about human beings can live. Meanwhile, the sixth version tells that the Fahrenheit the freezing point of water is marked, the normal temperature of the human body, and the boiling point of water. He then divides the range between the freezing point of water and the boiling point of water into 180 degrees. Set the normal body temperature
