When do you use the Rankine Scale?

The Rankine scale is one of the temperature scales used when an absolute temperature scale is needed. The Rankine scale is useful in calcluations of oil or gas present in an oil or gas reservoir (one of the factors in the equations is the ratio of standard temperature to formation temperature; generally add 460 to the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to obtain degrees Rankine).


What relation between celsius and rankine scale?

°R = degrees Rankine, this is the absolute temperature scale relative to the Fahrenheit scale. 0°R = -459.67°F the freezing point of water = 491.67°R°C = degrees Celsius (or Centigrade), this is the common metric temperature scale where the freezing point of water is 0°C and the boiling point is 100°CTo convert from°R to°C subtract 491.67° then multiply by 5/9 (0.555555....)To convert from°C to°R multiply by 1.8 then add 491.67°To convert from°R to°F subtract 459.67°


Which of the following represents a different temperature than the other three A 15C B 59F C 475K D 519R?

Option A (15°C) represents a different temperature scale compared to the other three options because it uses the Celsius scale, while the other three options use the Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine scales respectively.

Which tempertaure scale uses absolute zero as it starting?

Kelvin and Rankine


What is zero degrees in rankine?

The Rankine scale, like the Kelvin scale, establishes a zero point at "absolute zero", the theoretical minimum temperature of any matter. But the Rankine scale uses the same size "degree" as Fahrenheit, making zero degrees R = -459.67 °F. So in the four common scales, 0 R = -459.67 °F = 0 K = -273.15 °C.

What are the four measurement of temperature?

Kelvin were 0 = absolute zero and uses Celsius as unit of measure Celsius Fahrenheit Those are the most common. There are a few more the most common is Rankine which is similar to Kelvin except it uses Fahrenheit as unit of measure


What is the temperature scale used in the English system of measurement?

The Fahrenheit scale was traditionally used in the English system of measurement until largely supplanted by the Celsius scale. Measurements in the Fahrenheit scale are generally used only in the US, almost exclusively for air temperatures, body temperatures, and oven temperatures.Another scale that uses English degree units is the Rankine scale, which is based on absolute zero.

What temperature scale is not really used in science?

Science does not use the Fahrenheit scale, it uses the Celsius scale or the Kelvin scale instead.


What temperature scale does china use?

China primarily uses the Celsius temperature scale for weather forecasts and everyday temperature measurements. However, in some engineering and scientific applications, the Kelvin temperature scale is also used.


What units of temperature does America use?

America primarily uses the Fahrenheit scale to measure temperature.


What temperature scale useds the abbreviation k?

The Kelvin scale uses the abbreviation K. It is a unit of temperature measurement based on the thermodynamic temperature scale, in which 0 K represents absolute zero, the absence of all thermal energy.
