Convert Rankine to Rankine
Rankine
The Rankine (°R) is an absolute temperature scale used primarily in thermodynamics. Like the Kelvin scale, it starts at absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature. The Rankine scale has the same increments as the Fahrenheit scale, so a temperature change of 1°R is equivalent to a change of 1°F. Absolute zero on the Rankine scale is 0°R, which corresponds to -459.67°F.
The Rankine scale was developed by the Scottish engineer and physicist William John Macquorn Rankine in the 19th century, specifically in 1859. Rankine created this scale to provide an absolute temperature scale using Fahrenheit's temperature divisions, making it particularly useful for thermodynamic calculations in engineering and physics. The Rankine scale is still used in some fields, particularly in the United States for thermodynamic calculations in engineering applications, though the Kelvin scale is more widely used internationally in scientific contexts.
