In mathematics,
If x = 500 and y = 100, then (x + y) = 600
In engineering,
If x = 500m and y = 100m, then (x + y) = 600m
But,
If x = 500m and y = 100kg, then (x + y) = 600???

Conversion of Units: Equations or Formula
Consider the following equation of motion:
D (ft) = 3 t(s) 4
Derive an equivalent equation for distance in meters andtime in minutes.
Step 1. Define new variables D(m) and t(min).
Step 2. Define the old variables in terms of the new variable.

The numerical value of two or more quantities can beadded/subtracted only if the units of the quantitiesare the same.
5 kilograms + 3 meters = no physical meaning
10 feet + 3 meters = has physical meaning
10 feet + 9.84 feet = 19.94 feet

If Ea is activation in cal/mol and T is temperature in K, whatis the unit of R?
To make the argument of the exponential functiondimensionless, R must have a unit of (cal/mol-K).

Every valid equation must be dimensionally consistent.
Each term in the equation must have the same netdimensions and units as every other term to which it isadded, subtracted, or equated.
A + B = C DE
If A has a dimension of L3, then
1. B must have a dimension of L3
since it is added to A.2. (A + B) has a net dimension of L3.3. (C DE) must have a net dimension of L3
4. C and DE have a dimension of L3.

Example on Dimensional Consistency
The density of a fluid is given by the empirical equation
= 70.5 exp(8.27 x 10-7 P)
where = density in (lbm/ft3) and P = pressure (lbf/in2).
a. What are the units of 70.5 and 8.27x10-7
?
b. Derive a formula for (g/cm3) and P (N/m2)

= 70.5 exp(8.27 x 10-7 P)
1. Since the exponential part is dimensionless, then 70.5must have the same unit as which is (lbm/ft3).
2. Since the argument of the exponential function must bedimensionless, then 8.27 x 10-7 must have a unit of(in.2/lbf) which is a reciprocal to the unit of P.
