      Never. Rankine increases faster than Celcius, so the two will never cross

      • Rankine starts at zero
      • Celsius starts at -273.15°
      • Rankine at room temperature 527.67
      • Celcius at room temperature 20

      Those lines do not cross

        Huh, so the lines do cross, just at a pysically impossible temperature of -614.5875. Neat!
