Temperature_(Delisle) = (671.67 - Temperature_(Rankine)) × 5 / 6

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.

Delisle unit in Temperature

The Delisle scale, introduced by French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle in 1732, is unique in that its temperature values decrease as the temperature increases, making it an inverted temperature scale. Water freezes at 150 degrees and boils at 0 degrees on this scale. The Delisle scale was used primarily in Russia during the 18th century, particularly in astronomy and other scientific fields. Though it is no longer in common use, the Delisle scale is noted for its historical significance and its unique approach to temperature measurement, offering insights into the development of scientific thought in the early modern period.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about "Rankine ➜ Delisle" Conversion

1. What is the conversion formula from Rankine to Delisle?

The formula to convert Rankine to Delisle in Temperature is:

(671.67 - Rankine) * 5 / 6

2. How do I convert from Rankine to Delisle given a value in Rankine units?

To convert Temperature from Rankine to Delisle, you can use the following formula:

(671.67 - Rankine) * 5 / 6

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