Conversion Factors, and Physical Constants

The authoritative values for physical constants and conversion factors used in thermodynamic calculations are assembled in Table 2.3. Furthermore, information about the proper use of physical quantities, units, and symbols can be found in several additional sources [5].

The international system of units is described in detail in NIST Special Publication 81l,1 and lists of physical constants and conversions factors of selected unit conversions1 5 are given in the following tables. The conversions are presented in matrix format when all of the units are of a convenient order of magnitude. When some of the unit conversions are of tittle value (such as the conversion between metric tons and grains), tabular form is followed, with the less useful units omitted. 

A number of physical constants and conversion factors frequently useful in noble gas geochemistry calculations are collected in Table 1.1. These values have been used for all the calculations in this book.
