Units of length

Angstrom unit, A A unit of length equivalent to 10" cm, (10 °m). Used to describe molecular and lattice dimensions and wavelengths of visible light. 

Now integrate the equation (5) taking into account the formulae for pi and pN. As a result we arrive to the specific volume flow rate in a film, referred to the unit of length for cross section ... 

Quantum mechanics is primarily concerned with atomic particles electrons, protons and neutrons. When the properties of such particles (e.g. mass, charge, etc.) are expressed in macroscopic units then the value must usually be multiplied or divided by several powers of 10. It is preferable to use a set of units that enables the results of a calculation to he reported as easily manageable values. One way to achieve this would be to multiply eacli number by an appropriate power of 10. However, further simplification can be achieved by recognising that it is often necessary to carry quantities such as the mass of the electron or electronic charge all the way through a calculation. These quantities are thus also incorporated into the atomic units. The atomic units of length, mass and energy are as follows ... 

It is the most corrosion-resistant metal known, and was used in making the standard meter bar of Paris, which is a 90 percent platinum and 10 percent iridium alloy. This meter bar was replaced in 1960 as a fundamental unit of length (see under Krypton).

Expressed in these units, a resembles a molecular volume hence a has units of length and is thus a length which characterizes the interaction between a molecule and the field. In view of this, it may be true that = f(a /X), since all we can say about Q is that it is dimensionless. 

Because self-regulating heaters are parallel heaters, they may be cut to length at any point without changing their power output per unit of length. This makes them much easier to deal with in the field. They may Be terminated, teed, or spliced in the field with hazardous-area-approved components. 

Note that comes out with units of length. Since E typically varies with (gas velocity), this results in drop size dependence with (Ih/eloc-... 

Eqs. 14-198, 14-199, and 14-200 are dimensionally consistent any set of consistent units on the right-hand side yields the droplet size in units of length on the left-hand side.)... 

The distances can be measured in any convenient unit of length and scanning... 

Micrometer a unit of length equal to one millionth of a meter the unit of measure for particle size. 

Micron A unit of length. One millionth of a meter or one thousandth of a millimeter. One micron equals 0.00004 of an inch. 

Now we turn our attention to the results obtained from the pair theory for the system of assoeiating Lennard-Jones fluid in eontaet with a hard wall. The nonassoeiative part of the interpartiele potential is given by Eq. (87), whereas the assoeiative interaetion is given by Eq. (60), with d = 0.45 and <3 = 0.1. The diameter of fluid partieles a is taken as the unit of length. 

FIG. 1 Profiles of the heterogeneous surface generated by the procedure of Bakaev and Steele [81]. Each profile (except the upper one) is shifted downward with respect to the previous one by the unit of length.

The fundamental equations of quantum chemistry are usually expressed in units designed to simplify their form by eliminating fundamental constants. The atomic unit of length is the Bohr radius ... 

It is usual these days to express all physical quantities in the system of units referred to as the Systeme International, SI for short. The International Unions of Pure and Applied Physics, and of Pure and Applied Chemistry both recommend SI units. The units are based on the metre, kilogram, second and the ampere as the fundamental units of length, mass, time and electric current. (There are three other fundamental units in SI, the kelvin, mole and candela which are the units of thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance and luminous intensity, respectively.)... 

These must be converted to the unit of length used in the formula. 

Two systems of units are in common usage in mechanics. The first, the SI system, is an absolute system based on the fundamental quantities of space, time, and mass. All other quantities, including force, are derived. In the SI system the basic unit of mass is the kilogram (kg), the basic unit of length (space) is the meter (m), and the basic unit of time is tbe second (s). The derived unit of force is the Newton (N), which is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 kg at a rate of 1 m/s-.
