Units Introduction People measure quantities

through comparisons with standards.

Every measured quantity has an associated “unit” Which is the name of the Standard.

Need to define sensible and practical "units" and "standards" that scientists & engineers everywhere can agree upon

Even though there exist an almost infinite number of different physical quantities, we need no more than a handful of “base” standards.



SI System of Units

Système International d'Unités (International System of Units)

A Completely Consistent Set of Basic Units• Requires NO

Conversion factors– e.g., 5280 ft = 1 mile

• Defined by UNCHANGING Physical Phenomena– Except for one...

SI System History

In 1960 The 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures (GCWM) adopted the name SI System, for the recommended practical system of units of measurement.

The 1960 GCWM Specified Seven well-defined “Base” units which, by convention, are regarded as DIMENSIONALLY INDEPENDENT

Conservation of Units

Principle of conservation of units:• Units on the LEFT side of an equation

MUST be the SAME as those on the RIGHT side of an Equation

Then Have Dimensional Homogeneity• Needed to Prevent

“Apples & Oranges” Confusion– e.g., I Buy 100 ft of Wire at One Store and 50 m

at another; how much total Wire do I have? (It’s NOT “150”)



Unit Conversion by Chain-Link

To Determine the Amount of Wire I have I Need to Convert to Consistent (Homogeneous) Units

Start by Thinking About the Definition of “1”• AnyThing divided by ITSELF = “1”• Now Consider a “minute” minute 1 Seconds60

1 mintherefore 1

60 sec

60 secor 1

1 min

Read as “60 Seconds per minute”



Chain-Link Unit Conversion

Units can also be Multiplied and Divided in a manner similar to Numbers• This how we get, say, “Square Feet”

– e.g.; Consider an 8ft x 10ft Engineer’s Cubicle in Dilbert-Land. How Much WorkSpace Does the Engineer Have?

2ft 80 ftxft8x10 ft 108ft x WrkSpc Now Back to the Wire

• Want to Know how many FEET of Wire I have in Total



Chain-Link Unit Conversion cont.

Check in Table 16.8 and Find “3.2808 ft = 1meter (“3.2808 ft per meter”)• Multiply the 50m by this special Value of 1

feet 164.04meter 1

feet 3.2808meter 50 1meter 50

Can “Cancel” The Units by Division

So then the Total Wire = 264 ft

Thus have 1728 “cubic inches” per “Cubic Foot”

that Natural Gas is delivered by PG&E to homes at a pressure of 4-7 “inches of Water Column”

The USA FDA recommends that Adults consume 2200 Calories per Day

• What then is the “Power Rating” of a Grown Human Being?

– Note that there are TWO types of “Calories”

1. The Amount of Heat Required to Raise the Temperature of 1 GRAM of water by 1 °C (or 1 Kelvin) Often Called the Gram-CAL; This is what is in the Text

2. The Amount of Heat Required to Raise the Temperature of 1 KILOgram of water by 1 °C Often Called the kgCAL or kiloCal; This is what

you read on the side of Food Packaging



Tire Pressure Many AutoMobile

Tires have a Maximum Pressure Rating of About 44 psig.

Convert 44 psi to kiloPascals (kPa)



Ton of Refrigeration

During his Presentation Mr. Ian McClaren of SouthLand Industries described the “Ice Storage” Cooling System Behind Bldg-1800.

He Noted that the Cooling Power of this system was Rated in “Tons”

What is a “Ton” of Cooling Power



Ton of Refrigeration

A TON of the refrigeration is defined, roughly, as the COOLING effect of melting 2000 lbs of water ICE over a 24 HOUR Period• From PHYS4C (or ASHRAE HandBook)

find that the “Latent Heat of Fusion” for ice is 333.55 kJ/kg

On WhtBoard Convert a “Ton of Refrigeration” to • kW and Btu/hr
