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

Description:
Converts degrees Kelvin to degrees Rankine.Note that both the Kelvin and Rankine temperature scales have an absolute zero (negative Kelvin and Rankine temperatures do not exist). If a temperature below 0 Kelvin (absolute 0) is passed, the funciton will return an invalid result.

Return Values:
Returns a float.

Example:

<CFSET k=100>
<CFOUTPUT>
Given k=#k#<BR>
#k# degrees Kelvin = #KelvinToRankine(k)# degrees Rankine.
</CFOUTPUT>

Parameters:

Name Description Required
kelvin Degrees Kelvin you want converted to degrees Rankine. Yes
