Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit (symbol: °F) is a unit of temperature in the Imperial measurement system. On this scale, the freezing point of water is 32°F, and the boiling point is 212°F under standard atmospheric conditions.
The Fahrenheit scale was developed by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. He based his scale on three fixed points: the temperature of a mixture of ice and salt (0°F), the freezing point of water (32°F), and the average human body temperature (96°F, later adjusted to 98.6°F).
Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States and a few other countries that follow the Imperial system. It is commonly used for weather forecasts, household ovens, and other temperature measurements in daily life.
Rankine (symbol: °R) is a unit of temperature in the Imperial system. The Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale, starting from absolute zero, similar to the Kelvin scale but using Fahrenheit degrees.
The Rankine scale was developed by Scottish engineer and physicist William John Macquorn Rankine in 1859. It was designed to provide an absolute reference point for temperature measurements, where absolute zero is 0°R.
Rankine is primarily used in engineering fields, particularly in thermodynamics and aerospace engineering. It is also used in some scientific contexts where temperature measurements need to be expressed in Fahrenheit-based absolute values.
To convert from Fahrenheit to Rankine, you can use the following formula:
Fahrenheit to Rankine: ( \text{°R} = \text{°F} + 459.67 )
Convert Fahrenheit to Rankine:
Use the formula: ( \text{°R} = \text{°F} + 459.67 )
Calculation: ( 77 + 459.67 = 536.67 )°R
Example 1: If the temperature is 59°F, convert it to Rankine using the formula (59 + 459.67 = 518.67°R).
Example 2: For a temperature of 95°F, convert to Rankine using the formula (95 + 459.67 = 554.67°R).
Fahrenheit to Celsisu and Fahrenheit to Kelvin
To convert Fahrenheit to Rankine, simply add 459.67 to the Fahrenheit value. For example, 68°F converts to 527.67 R.
