What is the formula to convert from Réaumur to Rankine?

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

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

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 Although it has largely been replaced by the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, the Réaumur scale remains a point of historical interest, especially in studies of early scientific instrumentation and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

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.

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

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

The formula to convert Réaumur to Rankine in Temperature is:

(Réaumur * 9 / 4) + 491.67

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

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

(Réaumur * 9 / 4) + 491.67

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