Newton (°N)
Definition
Newton (°N) is a temperature scale where 0°N equals the freezing point of water and 33°N equals the boiling point of water.
History
The Newton scale was devised around 1700 by Sir Isaac Newton. It was one of the earliest attempts to create a standardized temperature scale and predates both Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Current use
The Newton temperature scale is not used in any modern practical application. It is studied in the history of science and thermometry as an early example of temperature standardization.
Rankine (°R)
Definition
Rankine (°R) is an absolute temperature scale where 0°R equals absolute zero (−459.67°F). Each Rankine degree equals one degree Fahrenheit.
History
The Rankine scale was proposed in 1859 by William John Macquorn Rankine, a Scottish physicist and engineer. It was designed as the Fahrenheit-based equivalent of the Kelvin scale for use in thermodynamic engineering.
Current use
Rankine is used primarily in American engineering and thermodynamics, particularly in the aerospace and HVAC industries. Some US engineering textbooks and thermodynamic tables reference Rankine temperatures.
