scipy.constants.K2C

scipy.constants.K2C(K)

Convert Kelvin to Celsius

Parameters :

K : float-like scalar or array-like

Kelvin temperature(s) to be converted

Returns :

C : float or a numpy array of floats, corresponding to type of Parameters

Equivalent Celsius temperature(s)

Notes

Computes C = K - zero_Celsius where zero_Celsius = 273.15, i.e., (the absolute value of) temperature “absolute zero” as measured in Celsius.

Examples

>>> from scipy.constants.constants import K2C
>>> K2C(np.array([233.15, 313.15]))
array([-40.,  40.])
