Convert celsius to kelvin

Temperature is a fundamental parameter in physics and daily life. Different regions of the world use different temperature scales. Celsius (°C) and Kelvin (K) are two commonly used temperature scales. Celsius is used in most countries for everyday temperature measurements, while Kelvin is often used in scientific and engineering contexts. Converting temperatures between these two scales is important for various applications, especially in scientific research and technical calculations.

Problem Statement and Description

The problem is to convert a temperature given in Celsius to its equivalent value in Kelvin. The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K is absolute zero, the point at which molecular motion ceases. The conversion formula from Celsius to Kelvin is kelvin = celsius + 273.15. This formula adds 273.15 to the Celsius temperature to obtain the equivalent temperature in Kelvin.

Example

To better understand the problem, let's consider an example. Suppose we have a temperature of 25°C that we want to convert to Kelvin. Using the formula:

Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15
    Kelvin = 25 + 273.15
    Kelvin = 298.15

So, 25°C is equivalent to 298.15 K.

Idea to Solve the Problem

To solve this problem, we need to create a program that takes a temperature in Celsius as input, applies the conversion formula, and outputs the equivalent temperature in Kelvin. We will define a function to perform this conversion, and the main program will call this function for different test cases.

Pseudocode

Here's the pseudocode for the program:

function celsius_to_kelvin(celsius):
    kelvin = celsius + 273.15
    return kelvin

main:
    celsius_to_kelvin(1)
    celsius_to_kelvin(10.80)
    celsius_to_kelvin(14.50)

Algorithm Explanation

  1. Define the celsius_to_kelvin function that takes a parameter celsius.
  2. Inside the function, calculate the equivalent temperature in Kelvin using the formula celsius + 273.15.
  3. Return the calculated temperature in Kelvin.
  4. In the main program, call the celsius_to_kelvin function with different test cases: 1, 10.80, and 14.50.
  5. Print the results.

Code Solution

//C Program 
//Convert  celsius to kelvin
#include <stdio.h>

//Find the kelvin of given celsius
void celsius_to_kelvin(double celsius)
{
	// Formula : celsius + 273.15
	// Calculate given celsius to kelvin 
	double kelvin = celsius + 273.15;
	//Display result
	printf("Celsius : %lf  Kelvin : %lf\n", celsius, kelvin);
}
int main()
{
	//Simple test
	celsius_to_kelvin(1);
	celsius_to_kelvin(10.80);
	celsius_to_kelvin(14.50);
	return 0;
}

Time Complexity

The time complexity of this program is constant for each conversion, as it involves only simple addition. Regardless of the value of the input Celsius temperature, the number of operations remains the same. Thus, the time complexity is O(1).
