And where does poor Rankine sit?
Is that like the heat equivalent of gradians?
Kelvin starts at absolute zero and proceeds on the Celsius scale.
Rankine starts at absolute zero and proceeds on the Fahrenheit scale.
What an abomination
But the Freedom™ 🇺🇲🦅
It was named after the Scotsman that developed it. Furthermore, I’ve never seen it used in any practical application here in the US.
The only time I’ve ever seen it used was practice questions from my thermodynamics textbooks when Imperial units were used (alongside the wonderfully awful to use BTU which doesn’t translate well with anything).
I’ve never seen Rankine actually used anywhere otherwise.
