What is the formula to convert from Rankine to Réaumur?

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

Temperature_(Réaumur) = (Temperature_(Rankine) - 491.67) × 4 / 9

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.

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 Although it has largely been replaced by the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, the Réaumur scale remains a point of historical interest, especially in studies of early scientific instrumentation and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 "Rankine ➜ Réaumur" Conversion

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

The formula to convert Rankine to Réaumur in Temperature is:

(Rankine - 491.67) * 4 / 9

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

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

(Rankine - 491.67) * 4 / 9

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 Réaumur.
