Delisle to Kelvin (°De to K) calculation

Kelvin = ((Delisle - -100) / 1.49999999) + 273.15

Kelvin = ((0 - -100) / 1.49999999) + 273.15

Kelvin = (100 / 1.49999999) + 273.15

Kelvin = 66.66666711 + 273.15

Kelvin = 339.81666711

 

Delisle to Kelvin (°De to K) conversion formula

Kelvin = ((Delisle - -100) / 1.49999999) + 273.15

About Delisle

The Delisle scale is a temperature scale that was developed by French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle in the early 18th century. It is named after him and is based on the Celsius scale, which is widely used today. The Delisle scale is a reverse scale, meaning that as the temperature increases, the Delisle value decreases.

On the Delisle scale, the boiling point of water is set at 0 degrees, while the freezing point is set at 150 degrees. This means that the Delisle scale has a larger range than the Celsius scale, with 180 degrees between the boiling and freezing points. To convert a temperature from Delisle to Celsius, you can use the formula: Celsius = (150 - Delisle) * 2/3.

While the Delisle scale was widely used in the 18th century, it has since fallen out of favor and is not commonly used today. The Celsius scale, on the other hand, is the most widely used temperature scale in the world, particularly in scientific and everyday applications. It is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, making it a practical and easily understandable scale for measuring temperature.

About Kelvin

Kelvin, also known as the Kelvin scale, is a unit of measurement for temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after the Scottish physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, who made significant contributions to the field of thermodynamics. The Kelvin scale is based on the absolute zero point, which is the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion ceases.

Unlike most other temperature scales, Kelvin does not use degrees. Instead, it measures temperature in kelvins (K). The Kelvin scale is often used in scientific and engineering applications, particularly in fields like physics, chemistry, and meteorology. It is considered an absolute temperature scale because it starts from absolute zero, which is equivalent to -273.15 degrees Celsius or -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.

One of the key advantages of the Kelvin scale is that it allows for precise and consistent measurements of temperature. It is particularly useful in scientific research and calculations involving gases, as it directly relates to the kinetic energy of molecules. Additionally, the Kelvin scale is used in many scientific formulas and equations, making it an essential tool for scientists and engineers worldwide.
