What are Rankine and Fahrenheit

The Rankine scale is a thermodynamic temperature scale named after Scottish engineer and physicist William John Macquorn Rankine. It is an absolute temperature scale based on the Fahrenheit degree increments, similar to the Kelvin scale which uses Celsius degree increments. Zero on the Rankine scale (0°R) represents absolute zero, where all molecular motion ceases. Rankine is primarily used in engineering systems where heat computations are done using Fahrenheit units.

The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale based on one proposed by the Polish-German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and the boiling point is 212 degrees, placing the boiling and freezing points of water exactly 180 degrees apart, with each degree on the Fahrenheit scale being 1/180 of the interval between the freezing and boiling points of water.

History of Rankine and Fahrenheit

A brief history of the Rankine to Fahrenheit converter traces back to the origin of both temperature scales. The Rankine scale, established in 1859, and the Fahrenheit scale, introduced in 1724, have long been used in various scientific and engineering fields. This converter is a modern tool that seamlessly translates temperatures between these two historic scales, catering to the needs of professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Solved Examples °R to °F

Example 1:
Convert 670°R to °F:
670°R = (670 - 491.67) × 1°F = 178.33°F

Example 2:
Convert 523°R to °F:
523°R = (523 - 491.67) × 1°F = 31.33°F
