Engineering units

[adilbek-m]

Dear Prof. Solbraa,
I noticed your neqsim project in github. We are trying to use the library in our product. Thanks  for making such a wonderful project open source.I have a question with regards to engineering units of input parameters, in particular the following parameters used as inputs in pipeline function (in the parentheses my guesses):

• position (m)
• diameter (m)
• height (m)
• outTemp (oC)
• rough (m)
• outerHeatTransferCoefficients (W/(m2K))
• pipeWallHeatTransferCoefficients (W/(m2K))

Are my guesses correct? In general, are all engineering units in SI units of measure by default?

Thanks for your input.

Yes, all your guesses are correct 😊.
We try to stick to SI units in the development (one exception is that pressure is in unit bar in most equations).

You can have a look at the example in the notebook:
