How to convert degrees fahrenheit to degrees rankine?

To convert degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to degrees Rankine (°R or °Ra), you use the following relationship:

1 degree Fahrenheit = 1 degree Rankine.

The Rankine scale is simply a Fahrenheit scale shifted to start at absolute zero (-459.67°F), making unit conversions straightforward.

Conversion Formula:

$\text{Temperature in Rankine} (°R) = \text{Temperature in Fahrenheit} (°F) + 459.67$

So, for 1°F: $1 °F = 1 °F + 459.67 = 460.67°R$

Examples:

Freezing Point of Water:
- $32°F \rightarrow 32°F + 459.67 = 491.67°R$
Boiling Point of Water:
- $212°F \rightarrow 212°F + 459.67 = 671.67°R$
Average Room Temperature:
- $68°F \rightarrow 68°F + 459.67 = 527.67°R$
Extremely Cold Weather (e.g., -40°F):
- $-40°F \rightarrow -40°F + 459.67 = 419.67°R$
Typical Oven Temperature for Baking:
- $350°F \rightarrow 350°F + 459.67 = 809.67°R$

Real-World Contexts:

Meteorology: Understanding the temperature of the atmosphere at different altitudes, where different units might be needed in thermodynamic equations.
Engineering and Thermodynamics: Temperatures in systems and reactions involving gases and engines can be described using Rankine for more direct calculations with other measurements that use Rankine as a standard.

The key takeaway is that converting from Fahrenheit to Rankine is straightforward as you only need to add 459.67 to the Fahrenheit temperature to get the Rankine temperature.

What is degree Fahrenheit?

Degree Fahrenheit is the unit of measurement for template used by SI units. It's symbol is $^\circ F$ .

To convert some x amount of Fahrenheit

^\circ F = (x -\ 32)\ * \ \frac{5}{9}\ ^\circ C

where x is number of degree Fahrenheit

^\circ F = (x +\ 459.67)\ * \ \frac{5}{9}\ ^\circ K

where x is number of degree Fahrenheit

What is degrees rankine?

Degrees Rankine (°R or °Ra) is a temperature scale that was proposed by William John Macquorn Rankine in 1859. It's primarily used in thermodynamics and engineering to measure temperatures.

On the Rankine scale, water freezes at 491.67 °R (0 °C is equivalent to 491.67 °R), and water boils at 671.69 °R (100 °C).

The Rankine scale has its own reference points for absolute zero, which is defined as 0 °R.

Here's a rough conversion from Celsius to Rankine:

°C × (9/5) = °R

To give you an idea of how this scale works, here are some common temperatures in both Celsius and Rankine:

Freezing point of water: 0 °C = 491.67 °R
Room temperature (20 °C): 68 °F ≈ 594.47 °R
Human body temperature (37 °C): 98.6 °F ≈ 610.71 °R

While the Rankine scale is not commonly used in everyday applications, it's still employed in various fields like thermodynamics and power engineering.

Keep in mind that most everyday temperature scales, such as Fahrenheit or Celsius, are more practical for general use, whereas the Rankine scale is often used in specific contexts where absolute temperatures are required.
