What are Celsius and Rankine

Celsius, denoted as °C, is a temperature scale named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius. It sets the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point at 100°C at one atmospheric pressure. This scale is widely used around the world and is considered the standard unit of temperature for most international applications, including scientific, industrial, and meteorological observations.

The Rankine scale, represented as °R or °Ra, is an absolute temperature scale based on the Fahrenheit scale. It sets the zero point at absolute zero, the theoretical temperature where particles possess minimal thermal energy. Like Kelvin in the Celsius system, one Rankine degree is equivalent to one degree Fahrenheit. It is mainly used in engineering fields within the United States and its territories.

History of Celsius and Rankine

A brief history of the Celsius to Rankine conversion begins with Anders Celsius's introduction of the Celsius scale in 1742. Subsequently, William John Macquorn Rankine proposed the Rankine scale in 1859, providing a thermodynamic temperature scale for engineers. Ever since, the conversion between these scales has facilitated a shared understanding in scientific and engineering domains.
