  3. You may copy the resulting Kelvin value using the Copy button.
  4. To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
  5. You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.

What is the Formula to convert Rankine to Kelvin?

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

Temperature(Kelvin) = Temperature(Rankine) / 1.8

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 kelvin, i.e., Temperature(Kelvin).

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 Kelvin.

Answer:

Given:

The temperature in rankine is:

Temperature(Rankine) = 1000

Formula:

The formula to convert temperature from rankine to kelvin is:

Temperature(Kelvin) = Temperature(Rankine) / 1.8

Substitution:

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

Temperature(Kelvin) = 1000 / 1.8

Temperature(Kelvin) = 555.5556

Final Answer:

Therefore, 1000 °R is equal to 555.5556 K.

The temperature is 555.5556 K, in kelvin.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The temperature in rankine is:

Temperature(Rankine) = 500

Formula:

The formula to convert temperature from rankine to kelvin is:

Temperature(Kelvin) = Temperature(Rankine) / 1.8

Substitution:

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

Temperature(Kelvin) = 500 / 1.8

Temperature(Kelvin) = 277.7778

Final Answer:

Therefore, 500 °R is equal to 277.7778 K.

The temperature is 277.7778 K, in kelvin.

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.

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.
