How to Convert degree Rankine to degree Rankinedegree Rankine
1 R = 1 R
1 R = 1 R
Example: convert 19 R to R:
19 R = 19 x 1 = 19 R
degree Rankine
Definition: Degree Rankine (°R or °Ra) is a thermodynamic (absolute) temperature scale, named after the Scottish physicist and engineer William John Macquorn Rankine, who proposed it in 1859. It uses the Fahrenheit degree as its interval and starts from absolute zero.
History/origin: William John Macquorn Rankine developed the Rankine scale as an absolute temperature scale to complement the Fahrenheit scale, similar to how the Kelvin scale relates to the Celsius scale.
Current use: The Rankine scale is primarily used in engineering contexts, particularly in thermodynamics and combustion calculations, predominantly in the United States. It's not as widely used as Kelvin or Celsius.
