On a certain dry sunny day, a swimming pool's temperature would rise by 13 C° if not for evaporation. What fraction of the water must evaporate to carry away precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant? Express your answer in decimal form, to at least two digits after the decimal point.

An engineer who is working on the heat transfer analysis of a house in English units needs the convection heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the house. But the only value he can find from his handbooks is 22 W/m2·K, which is in SI units. The engineer does not have a direct conversion factor between the two unit systems for the convection heat transfer coefficient. Using the conversion factors between W and Btu/h, m and ft, and °C and °F, express the given convection heat transfer coefficient in Btu/h·ft2·°F.
The SI unit for temperature is
