&GAS: TEMPERATURE


temp

The temperature of the gas.

[Initially set to 300 K.]


unit

The unit with which you enter the temperature.

Garfield internally stores the pressure in Kelvin. Temperatures are output in K or in C, the unit which is chosen for output doesn't depend on the unit you use for input.

Various temperature units are recognised, as listed in the table:

Unit Conversion from Kelvin Notation, shortest
degree Celsius T-273.15 CELSIUS, C
degree Fahrenheit (T-273.15)*9/5+32 FAHRENHEIT, F
Kelvin T KELVIN, K
degree Rankine (T-273.15)*9/5+32-459.67 RANKINE, RA
degree Reaumur (T-273.15)*4/5 REAUMUR, RE

[Default input unit is Kelvin.]
