What is the formula to convert from Rankine to Rømer?

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

Temperature_(Rømer) = (Temperature_(Rankine) - 491.67) × 7 / 24 + 7.5

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.

Rømer unit in Temperature

The Rømer scale, proposed by Danish astronomer Ole Rømer in 1701, was an early attempt to standardize temperature measurement. On this scale, the freezing point of water is set at 7.5 degrees, and the boiling point is 60 degrees. The Rømer scale was one of the first to be based on the properties of water, and it laid the foundation for later developments in temperature measurement, including the Celsius scale. Although it has been largely superseded, the Rømer scale remains of historical significance, particularly in the history of science and the development of meteorology and thermometry in Denmark.

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

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

The formula to convert Rankine to Rømer in Temperature is:

(Rankine - 491.67) * 7 / 24 + 7.5

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

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

(Rankine - 491.67) * 7 / 24 + 7.5

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 Rømer.
