Rankinen.adj.

Brit. /ˈraŋkɪn/, U.S. /ˈræŋkən/
Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Rankine.

(also Rankine formula) any of a number of formulae derived by Rankine in his work in various fields; spec. one giving the load under which a supporting column will collapse in terms of the height and cross-section of the column, and quantities determined by the material of which it is made.

a. attributive. Designating a scale of absolute temperature (i.e. one with its zero identified with absolute zero) in which the degrees are equal in size to those on the Fahrenheit scale; esp. in Rankine scale.The relationships between the Rankine scale and other scales are as follows (F = Fahrenheit, C = Celsius): °R = °F + 459.67 = (°C + 273.15) × 9/5.
