What is the formula to convert from Celsius to Rankine?

The formula to convert temperature value from the unit of Celsius to the unit of Rankine is:

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

Celsius unit in Temperature

Celsius is a temperature scale widely used across the globe, particularly in scientific research, education, and most daily temperature measurements. Named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, the scale is based on the phase changes of water under standard atmospheric conditions, with 0 degrees representing the freezing point of water and 100 degrees marking the boiling point. The Celsius scale is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is preferred in most countries, offering a straightforward metric system integration, especially for scientific purposes.

Rankine unit in Temperature

The Rankine scale, developed by Scottish engineer William John Macquorn Rankine in the mid-19th century, is an absolute temperature scale used primarily in engineering fields in the United States. Like the Kelvin scale, it begins at absolute zero, but it uses degrees Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. This makes the Rankine scale particularly useful in thermodynamic calculations involving heat and energy, especially in contexts where the Fahrenheit scale is already in use. Rankine's contributions to the field of thermodynamics have made this scale a valuable tool in disciplines such as mechanical engineering, aerospace, and energy systems.
