What is the conversion from Kelvin/hr to degree Celsius /hr? 1

[Bhupinder1]

I know 0 Kelvin = -273 degC, but if you have got a rate specified as 140 K/hr, would that be the same as 140 degC/hr which I think is correct. But if I convert the 140 K into degC, I'll get -133.15 degC but the rate is still 140 degC/hr. Why can't I just convert the K to degC to get the K/hr to degC/hr? I know some people's mind this is embedded.

1 degree Kelvin is the same as 1 degree Celcius.

Hence rate is the same.

The only difference is the Zero point.
Zero Degrees K is absolute Zero or -273.15 degrees C
Zero degrees Celcius is 273.15 degrees Kelvin.

"But if I convert the 140 K into degC, I'll get -133.15 degC but the rate is still 140 degC/hr"
You are converting a rate into a temperature. That is incorrect.

"Why can't I just convert the K to degC to get the K/hr to degC/hr?"
You can - It's a conversion of 1.0000000 for rate and ((K x 1) -273.15) for the temperature conversion.
