Temperature Conversion
To covert to Kelvin T(ºK) from Celsius T(ºC)
T(ºK) = T(ºC) + 273.15
To covert to Celsius T(ºC) from Kelvin T(ºK)T(ºC) = T(ºK) - 273.15
To covert to Celsius T(ºC) from Fahrenheit T(ºF)
To covert to Celsius T(ºC) from Kelvin T(ºK)T(ºC) = T(ºK) - 273.15
To covert to Celsius T(ºC) from Fahrenheit T(ºF)
T(ºC) = (T(ºF) – 32 ºF)(5 ºC/9 ºF)
To covert to Fahrenheit T(ºF) from Celsius T(ºC) T(ºF) = [T(ºC) x (9 ºC/5 ºF)]+32 ºF
Since on both the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales represents the same temperature (-40) , this point can be used as a reference point (like 0ºC and 32ºF) for a relationship between the two scales:
Examples:
1. Convert 98.6 ºF to Celsius and kelvin?
T(ºC)= (98.6 – 32 ºF)(5 ºC/9 ºF) = 37.0 ºC
T(ºK)= 37.0 + 273.15 = 210.2 K
2. Convert 77 ºK to the Fahrenheit scale.
T(ºC)= 77 - 273.15 = -196 ºC
T(ºF)= [-196 x (5 ºC/9 ºF)]+32 ºF = -321
