Convert from a temperature scale to another one among Celsius, Kelvin,
Fahrenheit and Rankine scales.
Parameters
----------
val : array_like
Value(s) of the temperature(s) to be converted expressed in the
original scale.
old_scale: str
Specifies as a string the original scale from which the temperature
value(s) will be converted. Supported scales are Celsius ('Celsius',
'celsius', 'C' or 'c'), Kelvin ('Kelvin', 'kelvin', 'K', 'k'),
Fahrenheit ('Fahrenheit', 'fahrenheit', 'F' or 'f') and Rankine
('Rankine', 'rankine', 'R', 'r').

Fahrenheit ('Fahrenheit', 'fahrenheit', 'F' or 'f') and Rankine
