The dynamic viscosity, or coefficient of viscosity, 77 of a Newtonian fluid is defined as the force per unit area necessary to maintain a unit velocity gradient at right angles to the direction of flow between two parallel planes a unit distance apart. The SI unit is pascal-second or newton-second per meter squared [N s m ]. The c.g.s. unit of viscosity is the poise [P] 1 cP = 1 mN s m . The dynamic viscosity decreases with the temperature approximately according to the equation log rj = A + BIT. Values of A and B for a large number of liquids are given by Barrer, Trans. Faraday Soc. 39 48 (1943).

Bond distances in organic compounds are usually 1-2 A (1A = 10 °m). Because the angstrom (A) is not an SI unit, we will express bond distances in picometers (1 pm = 10 m). Thus,... 

The dipole moment p. is a molecular property defined as the product of charge (usually just a fraction of the electronic change, of course) and distance between the centers of positive and negative charge in the molecule. The dipole moment is usually expressed in debyes (D), where 1 D = 1(T esu in SI units 1 D = 3.3356 X 10 ° C-m. so, for example, the dipole moment of water is 1.84 D or 6.14 in units of 10 C-m. Again a rough correspondence is seen between this property of a molecule and its polarity, though e and p. are not precisely correlated. 

This law is closely obeyed by real gases under conditions where the actual volume of the molecules is small compared with the total volume, and where the molecules exert only a very small attractive force on one another. These conditions are met at very low pressures when the distance apart of the individual molecules is large. The value of R is then the same for all gases and in SI units has the value of 8314 J/kmol K. 

The symbols and are, respectively, the laplacian operators for a single nucleus and a single electron. The variable is the distance between nuclei a and / , Vai the distance between nucleus a and electron i, and the distance between electrons i and j. The summations are taken over each pair of particles. The quantity e is equal to the magnitude of the electronic charge e in CGS units and to e/(47reo) / in SI units, where eo is the permittivity of free space.

From these seven base SI units, many others are derived. For example, speed can be denoted as distance per unit time (m.s-1) and acceleration as speed change per unit time (m.s-2). Some common derived units are given below. 

The dipole moment is a fundamental property of a molecule (or any dipole unit) in which two opposite charges are separated by a distance . This entity is commonly measured in debye units (symbolized by D), equal to 3.33564 X 10 coulomb-meters, in SI units). Since the net dipole moment of a molecule is equal to the vectorial sum of the individual bond moments, the dipole moment provides valuable information on the structure and electrical properties of that molecule. The dipole moment can be determined by use of the Debye equation for total polarization. Examples of dipole moments (in the gas phase) are water (1.854 D), ammonia (1.471 D), nitromethane (3.46 D), imidazole (3.8 D), toluene (0.375 D), and pyrimidine (2.334 D). Even symmetrical molecules will have a small, but measurable dipole moment, due to centrifugal distortion effects. Methane " for example, has a value of about 5.4 X 10 D. 

A quantity (commonly symbolized by V) for the work needed to bring a unit positive charge to that point in space from an infinite distance. Thus, V = dw/dQ where w is the work and Q is the electric charge. The SI unit for electric potential is the volt (V). The electric potential difference, also measured in volts and symbohzed by U, Ay, or Acb, is equal to the difference in potential between two points U = V2 as measured by the work needed to transfer a unit positive charge from one point to the other.

Newton s law states that force = mass X acceleration. You also know that energy = force X distance and pressure = force/ area. From these relations, derive the dimensions of newtons, joules, and pascals in terms of the fundamental SI units in Table 1-1. Check your answers in Table 1-2. 

Since the common engineering units for both mass and force are 1 lb, it is essential to retain gc in all force-mass relations. The interconversions may be illustrated with the example of viscosity whose basic definition is force/(velocity)(distance). Accordingly the viscosity in various units relative to that in SI units is... 

In the cgs system, power has the units of ergs per second in the mks system, units of joules per second lor watts) and in the English system, units of foot-pounds per second. A common engineering unit is the horsepower, defined as 550 foot-pounds per second or 33.000 footpounds per minute. The SI unit of power is the wall. I watt = I joule per second. < I joule is the work done by I newton acting through a distance of I meler.l I joule = watt-second = I07 ergs= I07 dyne-centimeters. The SI unil of force is the newton.
