What is the formula to convert from Kelvin to Réaumur?

The formula to convert temperature value from the unit of Kelvin to the unit of Réaumur is:

Temperature_(Réaumur) = (Temperature_(Kelvin) - 273.15) × 4 / 5

Kelvin unit in Temperature

The Kelvin scale, developed by the Scottish physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale used extensively in scientific and engineering disciplines. Unlike the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, Kelvin starts at absolute zero, the theoretical temperature at which all atomic motion ceases. The Kelvin scale is fundamental in fields such as physics and astronomy, where absolute temperature measurements are crucial. One Kelvin degree is equivalent to one degree Celsius, but the Kelvin scale does not include negative numbers, simplifying calculations in thermodynamics and quantum physics.

Réaumur unit in Temperature

The Réaumur scale, established by French scientist René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur in 1730, sets the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point at 80 degrees. This scale was historically important in parts of Europe, particularly in France and Germany, where it was used for various scientific and industrial purposes, such as in the production of cheese and alcohol. Although it has largely been replaced by the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, the Réaumur scale remains a point of historical interest, especially in studies of early scientific instrumentation and temperature measurement techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about "Kelvin ➜ Réaumur" Conversion

1. What is the conversion formula from Kelvin to Réaumur?

The formula to convert Kelvin to Réaumur in Temperature is:

(Kelvin - 273.15) * 4 / 5

2. How do I convert from Kelvin to Réaumur given a value in Kelvin units?

To convert Temperature from Kelvin to Réaumur, you can use the following formula:

(Kelvin - 273.15) * 4 / 5

For example, if you have a value in Kelvin, you substitute that value in place of Kelvin in the above formula, and solve the mathematical expression to get the equivalent value in Réaumur.
