Question

It is common in engineering applications to use the Rankine scale to measure temperatures. In this scale, the boiling point of water is 671.67°R and the melting point of ice is 491.67°R. (Use the conversion 0°C = 273.15 K as necessary.)

(a) How are the Rankine and Fahrenheit scales related? (Use the following as necessary: TF.)

TR =

(b) How are the Rankine and Celsius scales related? (Use the following as necessary: TC.)

TR =

(c) How are the Rankine and Kelvin scales related? (Use the following as necessary: TK.)

TR =

Explanation / Answer

According to the given problem,

A)the Rankine and Fahrenheit scales,

[°R] = [°F] + 459.67

B)the Rankine and Celsius scales,

[°R] = ([°C] + 273.15) × 95

C)the Rankine and Kelvin scales,

[°R] = [K] × 95
