1. rankine

   The Rankine is a unit of temperature typically used in engineering fields. It is part of the Imperial system of units, largely used in the United States. It is abbreviated as 'R' or 'Ra'. The Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale, meaning it starts from absolute zero, the temperature at which all molecular motion ceases. On the Rankine scale, absolute zero is 0 degrees Rankine (0 °R), and a temperature difference of 1 degree Rankine is equivalent to a difference of 1 degree Fahrenheit. It is named after the Scottish engineer and physicist William John Macquorn Rankine, who proposed it in 1859.
