Common Variables Used in Thermodynamics and Their Associated Units

TABLE D.l Common Variables Used in Thermodynamics and Their Associated Units 

Variable SI Units Primary SI Dimensions CGS Units English Units 

Moles kgmole kgmol gmole or slug [si] lb mole 

Force newton [N] kgm/s dyne [dyne] pound force [Ibp] 

In most cases, it is easy to convert between SI and CGS unit systems. For example, the form of Newtons second law that force, F, equals mass, rn, times acceleration, a, is the same in either system
