Kelvin
About
Initially, The absolute thermodynamic scale beginning at absolute zero, where molecular motion virtually ceases.
Historical Background
Throughout history, Named after Lord Kelvin, it was established to provide a foundation for the laws of thermodynamics with absolute measurements. Subsequently, this helped establish its widespread use.
Modern Applications
Today, Essential in scientific research and engineering for quantifying thermal energy in an absolute sense. Moreover, it continues to serve essential measurement needs.
Rankine
About
Primarily, An absolute temperature scale similar to Kelvin but using Fahrenheit degree increments.
Historical Background
Over time, Introduced by William Rankine to extend thermodynamic concepts into the imperial system. As a result, it became a standard measurement unit.
Modern Applications
Currently, Used in engineering contexts where imperial units are preferred yet absolute temperature values are required. Furthermore, its use continues to expand in various fields.
