Fahrenheit, Celsius and, Kelvin are three of the temperature scales used in the scientific community.?

Question

Compare and contrast these scales. Then give examples of situations where it would be advantageous to use one of the scales instead of the other two.

Answer 1

1 deg C = 1deg F *5/9

1deg F = 32+9/5*C

Kelvin (K) = C +273.16

Rankine (R) = F + 459.69

32 degs F (freezing) = 0 deg C

212 degs F(boiling pt) = 100 deg C

Most engineering equations require absolute temps K and R

Answer 2

Actually only Celsius and Kelvin are used in the scientific community.
