What is the Formula to convert Kelvin to Rankine?

The formula to convert given temperature from Kelvin to Rankine is:

Temperature(Rankine) = Temperature(Kelvin) × 1.8

Substitute the given value of temperature in kelvin, i.e., Temperature(Kelvin) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the temperature in rankine, i.e., Temperature(Rankine).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that the operating temperature of a high-end processor is 320 Kelvin.
Convert this temperature from Kelvin to Rankine.

Answer:

Given:

The temperature in kelvin is:

Temperature(Kelvin) = 320

Formula:

The formula to convert temperature from kelvin to rankine is:

Temperature(Rankine) = Temperature(Kelvin) × 1.8

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Temperature(Kelvin) = 320 in the above formula.

Temperature(Rankine) = 320 × 1.8

Temperature(Rankine) = 576

Final Answer:

Therefore, 320 K is equal to 576 °R.

The temperature is 576 °R, in rankine.

2

Consider that the temperature of liquid nitrogen is approximately 77 Kelvin.
Convert this temperature from Kelvin to Rankine.

Answer:

Given:

The temperature in kelvin is:

Temperature(Kelvin) = 77

Formula:

The formula to convert temperature from kelvin to rankine is:

Temperature(Rankine) = Temperature(Kelvin) × 1.8

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Temperature(Kelvin) = 77 in the above formula.

Temperature(Rankine) = 77 × 1.8

Temperature(Rankine) = 138.6

Final Answer:

Therefore, 77 K is equal to 138.6 °R.

The temperature is 138.6 °R, in rankine.

Kelvin

The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale named after the Scottish physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. It is commonly used in scientific and engineering applications where an absolute temperature reference is required. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, the point at which all molecular motion ceases. The freezing point of water on the Kelvin scale is 273.15 K, and the boiling point is 373.15 K.

Rankine

The Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale named after the Scottish engineer and physicist William John Macquorn Rankine. Similar to the Kelvin scale, the Rankine scale starts at absolute zero, with each degree Rankine equal to one degree Fahrenheit. This scale is primarily used in thermodynamics and engineering, particularly in the United States. The freezing point of water on the Rankine scale is 491.67 °R, and the boiling point is 671.67 °R.
