The Rankine and Celsius scales are both temperature scales. While Celsius is widely used internationally, Rankine is an absolute temperature scale used primarily in engineering, particularly in thermodynamic calculations within the United States. This guide will delve into the Rankine to Celsius conversion process and provide a clear understanding of these temperature scales.
The Rankine scale is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale. This means it has its zero point at absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature. It uses degrees Rankine (°R) as its unit.
Key Characteristics:
The Celsius scale is another widely used temperature scale. It's based on the Celsius degree (°C), where 0°C is the freezing point of water, and 100°C is the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure.
The formula to convert Rankine to Celsius is:
**Celsius (°C) = (Rankine (°R) - 32) * (5/9)**
Let's convert 600°R to Celsius:
Therefore, 600°R is equivalent to 315.56°C.
