What is the Formula to convert Rankine to Celsius?

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

Temperature(Celsius) = Temperature(Rankine) × 5 / 9 - 273.15

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

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that the temperature inside an industrial furnace is 1000 degrees Rankine.
Convert this temperature from Rankine to Celsius.

Answer:

Given:

The temperature in rankine is:

Temperature(Rankine) = 1000

Formula:

The formula to convert temperature from rankine to celsius is:

Temperature(Celsius) = Temperature(Rankine) × 5 / 9 - 273.15

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Temperature(Rankine) = 1000 in the above formula.

Temperature(Celsius) = 1000 × 5 / 9 - 273.15

Temperature(Celsius) = 282.4056

Final Answer:

Therefore, 1000 °R is equal to 282.4056 °C.

The temperature is 282.4056 °C, in celsius.

2

Consider that a cryogenic system operates at 500 degrees Rankine.
Convert this temperature from Rankine to Celsius.

Answer:

Given:

The temperature in rankine is:

Temperature(Rankine) = 500

Formula:

The formula to convert temperature from rankine to celsius is:

Temperature(Celsius) = Temperature(Rankine) × 5 / 9 - 273.15

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Temperature(Rankine) = 500 in the above formula.

Temperature(Celsius) = 500 × 5 / 9 - 273.15

Temperature(Celsius) = 4.6278

Final Answer:

Therefore, 500 °R is equal to 4.6278 °C.

The temperature is 4.6278 °C, in celsius.

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.

Celsius

Celsius is a unit of temperature measurement that is part of the metric system. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who developed the scale. The Celsius scale sets the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point at 100 degrees under standard atmospheric pressure. It is widely used in scientific and everyday contexts around the world.
