Question

Using the freezing and boiling point temperatures for water in both Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, develop a conversion formula between the scales. Find the conversion formula between Kelvin and Rankine temperature scales. 

Answer 1

T_Freezing = 0°C = 32 F; T_Boiling = 100°C = 212F

∆T = 100 °C = 180 F ⇒ T°C = (T_F - 32)/1.8

or T_F = 1.8 T°C + 32

For the absolute K & R scales both are zero at absolute zero.

T_R = 1.8 × T_K
