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

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

Return Values:
Returns a float.

Example:

<CFSET r=671.67>
<CFOUTPUT>
Given r=#r#<BR>
#r# degrees Rankine = #RankineToKelvin(r)# degrees Kelvin.
</CFOUTPUT>

Parameters:

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