1B-4 : Temperature Unit Conversions 2 pts
Consider a system whose temperature is 18oC.
Express this temperature in
oR, K, and oF.
Read : This one is a straightforward temperature conversion.
Given : T 18 oC
Find : T ??? oR
T ??? K
T ??? oF
Solution : The key equations are those that relate T in oC to the desired temperature units.
 
eqn-1 Eqn 1
 
T 291.15 K
 
eqn-2 Eqn 2
 
T 64.4 oF
 
eqn-3 Eqn 3
 
T 524.07 oR
 
Alternatively, we could use : eqn-4 Eqn 4
 
T 524.07 oR
Answers : T 524.07 oR
T 291.15 K
T 64.4 oF
