These are the base units.
Some conversion factors are on the front cover of the text and on p. 11 Table 2.3-1.
Another reference is the back cover of Perry’s Chemical Engineers Handbook.
We’ll spend a lot of time in CM2110 converting between different units. Unit conversion
is VERY IMPORTANT! You’ll find that in industry all three systems of units are used.
2.4) Force and Weight
a) Force
Newton’s 2nd law of motion
ma
F
gc
m = mass
a = acceleration
gc= conversion factor
F= force
SI: Force= kg .m/s2 = Newton (or N): mass in kg and acceleration in m/s2
CGS: Force= g .cm/s2 = dyne
: mass in g and acceleration in cm/s2

American Engr System:
Force= lbf = lbforce= defined as 1 unit mass (1 lbmass) times acceleration of gravity (ft/s2)
a = g = acceleration of gravity = 32.174 ft/s2 = 9.8066 m/s2= 980.66 cm/s2
1 lbf = 32.174 lbm .ft/s2

2.5) Dimensional Homogeneity
Quantities can be added/subtracted only if their units are the same.
Example 1) V (m/s) = Vo (m/s) + g (m/s2) t (s)
Velocity
(m/s) = (m/s) + (m/s) Units are OK!
Example 2) V (m/s) = Vo (m/s) + g (m/s2) Units are NOT OK!
NOT a valid equation. Need all units to be the same!
2.6) Significant Figures
I’ll typically use 3 significant figures in CM2110.
Significant Figure Examples
2300. = 4 significant figures
0.03500 = 4 significant figures = 3.500 x 10-2
Chapter 2 Problems
Use the front cover of your text book to get conversion factors!
1. Verify that 1gal = 3.785 L = 0.003785 m3 = 231 in3

4. Re = Reynolds Number = dimensionless quantity used a lot by CM in fluid flow to
determine if we have laminar or turbulent flow in a pipe.
Re< 2100 means laminar flow
Re> 2100 means turbulent flow
Re =
Dv

D = pipe diameter = 2.067 in
v = fluid velocity = 4.8 ft/s
 = fluid density = 0.805 g/cm3
 = fluid viscosity = 0.43 cP
1cP = 1 centipoise = 10-3 kg/(m.s)
