Version: 1 | Requires: ColdFusion 5 | Library: ScienceLib

Rated 0 time(s). Average Rating: 0

Description:
Converts degrees Celsius to degrees Kelvin. Note that the Kelvin temperature scale has an absolute zero (negative Kelvin temperatures do not exist). If a temperature below -273.15 Celcius (absolute 0) is passed, the funciton returns -1.

Return Values:
Returns a float.

Example:

view plain print about

<CFSET c=100>
<CFOUTPUT>
Given c=#c#<BR>
#c# degrees Celsius = #CelsiusToKelvin(c)# degrees Kelvin.
</CFOUTPUT>

<CFSET c=100>
<CFOUTPUT>
Given c=#c#<BR>
#c# degrees Celsius = #CelsiusToKelvin(c)# degrees Kelvin.
</CFOUTPUT>

Parameters:

Name	Description	Required
celcius	Degrees celsius you want converted.	Yes
