Supplementary units

These units are formed by combining base units, supplementary units, and other derived units (2—4). Those derived units having special names and symbols are marked with an asterisk in the Hst below. 

In 1995 the 20th CGPM approved eliminating the class of supplementary units as a separate class in SI. Thus the new SI consists of only two classes of units base units and derived units, with the radian and steradian subsumed into the class of derived units of the SI. 

The units radian (rad) for plane angle and steradian (sr) for solid angle are described as supplementary units and are normally treated as though the - were base units, although the corresponding quantities may be treated as dimensionless. The coherent SI unit system consists of the foregoing, plus all of the units derived from them by multiplication and division without introducing numerical factors. 

All compounds form 1 1 and 1 2 species as the calixarenes. Monomer 051 forms more stable complexes than OOCMPO. A slight increase in the stability of the 1 1 complexes is observed when a supplementary unit is added to the ligand (from Os2 to 055). For 1 2 complexes, a large stabilization is noticed on going from 051 to Os2 and 053, but not for 054 or Os5. These results are consistent with the assumption that only one arm of each ligand may be involved in the complexation. 

The SI is constructed from seven base units for independent quantities (ampere, candela, kelvin, kilogram, meter, mole, and second) plus two supplementary units for plane and solid angles (radian and steradian). Most physicochemical measurements can be expressed in terms of these units. 

The International System (SI) of the Units rests upon seven base units and two supplementary units as shown in Table A-l. From the base units, derived units can be obtained to express various quantities such as area, power, force, etc. Some of these have special names as listed in Table A-2. Multiples and submultiples are obtained by using prefixes as shown in Table A-3. 

The units radian (rad) and steradian (sr), for plane angle and solid angle respectively, are described as SI supplementary units [3]. Since they are of dimension 1 (i.e. dimensionless), they may be included if appropriate, or they may be omitted if clarity is not lost thereby, in expressions for derived SI units.

Derived units are algebraic combinations of the seven base units or two supplementary units with some of the combinations being assigned special names and symbols. Examples are shown in Table 1. 

For the chemical engineer, the seven base units and two supplementary units are no problem because they have been used regularly in technical work of a chemical nature. However, the SI units for some of the derived terms, such as for pressure, are not familiar or in common usage in the U.S. customary system... 

SI is a mass-length-time-temperature system built from the seven base units of length, mass, time, temperature, amount of substance, electric current, and luminous intensity. In addition two supplementary units of plane phase angle and solid angle are needed to... 

All other units in SI are derived from the nine base and supplementary units. They will often have their own unit name and symbol, but all can be reduced through appropriate definitions to the nine primary units. Table 6D-2 lists the approved derived units with special names and their formulas and symbols. Table 6D-3 is a representative list of derived SI units which are widely used in chemical engineering but which do not have approved names.

With the current trend toward metrication, the question of using a consistent system of units has been a problem. Wherever possible, the authors of this Handbook of Environmental Engineering series have used the British system (fps) along with the metric equivalent (mks, cgs, or SIU) or vice versa. For the convenience of the readers around the world, this book provides a 55-page detailed Conversion Factors for Environmental Engineers. In addition, the basic and supplementary units, the derived units and quantities, important physical constants, the properties of water, and the Periodic Table of the Elements, are also presented in this document.
