Kelviniksi

Kelviniksi is a Finnish word that translates to "to Kelvin" in English. It is used to describe the process of converting a temperature from the Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale. The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale used primarily in scientific and engineering contexts. It is based on absolute zero, the theoretical temperature at which all molecular motion ceases, which is defined as 0 Kelvin (K).

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, one simply adds 273.15 to the Celsius value. This is because the Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, while the Celsius scale starts at the freezing point of water at 0 degrees Celsius. For example, a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius would be 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 Kelvin.

The Kelvin scale is named after Lord Kelvin, a Scottish physicist and engineer who made significant contributions to the understanding of thermodynamics. The use of the Kelvin scale is essential in many scientific and engineering disciplines, including physics, chemistry, and materials science, where absolute temperature measurements are crucial.
