About rankine and celsius
The Conversion Formula
Temperature conversions between rankine and celsius use specific formulas rather than a simple multiplication factor, because temperature scales have different zero points. Use the converter above or the reference table for quick lookups. For example, converting 25 °R gives -259.26 °C, and converting 100 °R gives -217.59 °C.
About rankine
The Rankine scale is to Fahrenheit what Kelvin is to Celsius. Proposed by William John Macquorn Rankine in 1859, it is an absolute thermodynamic scale. It starts at absolute zero (0°R), but its degree intervals are equal to Fahrenheit degrees. Water freezes at 491.67°R. It is primarily used in US engineering fields, specifically in thermodynamics and aerospace, where English units are still common. rankine are commonly used in Aerospace engineering (US), Thermodynamics systems, Heat engine calculations, and Gas turbine design.
Absolute zero is 0°R, which is -459.67°F.
About celsius
The Celsius scale is named after Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius. In 1742, he created a scale based on 0 for the boiling point of water and 100 for the freezing point. This was later inverted to the familiar 0-100 scale we use today by Carl Linnaeus and others. For a long time, it was known simply as 'centigrade' (meaning 100 steps) until it was officially renamed Celsius in 1948 to honor its inventor. celsius are commonly used in Weather forecasting (Global), Cooking and baking (Global), Medical body temperature, and Scientific research, Computer hardware monitoring.
Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C.
When Would You Convert rankine to celsius?
