Question

Like the Kelvin scale, the Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale: Absolute zero is zero degrees Rankine (0R). However, the units of this scale are the same size as those on the Fahrenheit scale (F) rather than the Celsius scale (C).Given that water at standard pressure freezes at 0C, which corresponds to 32F, and that it boils at 100C, which corresponds to 212F, calculate the temperature difference in degrees Fahrenheit that corresponds to a temperature difference of 1 K on the Kelvin scale.

Explanation / Answer

Part A

delta T = 1 K = 1.8 degree F

Part B

T triple = 492 degree R
