How do you convert degrees celsius to degrees rankine? - Answers

To convert from degrees Celsius into degrees Rankine, add 273.15, multiply by 9, and divide by 5. For example, 0 degrees Celsius is equal to (0 + 273.15) = 273.15 x 9 = 2458.35 / 5 = 491.67 degrees Rankine. R = 9/5 (C + 273.15) For every additional degree Celsius, the difference between Rankine and Celsius increases by 9 / 5 = 1.8 degrees - the same amount as it increases for x+1 degrees Fahrenheit. Here is a small table: 0 degrees C = 491.67 Rankine. 1 degree C = 493.47 Rankine. 2 degrees C = 495.27 Rankine. Similarly, for every increase of one degree Fahrenheit, the number of degrees Rankine increases by 1. For example: 32 Fahrenheit = 491.67 Rankine 33 Fahrenheit = 492.67 Rankine. To convert Celsius to Rankine, first convert Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15, then multiply by 9/5 or by 1.8 to get the Rankine temperature. R = 9/5 (C + 273.15) *Rankine is the Fahrenheit temperature scale re-adjusted to start at absolute zero, so it is also the Fahrenheit temperature plus 459.67 degrees. -459.67°F = 0 R
