The most commonly used water flow or airflow
unit today is CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). In countries
where the metric system is more common, m3/min or m3/h is
sometimes being used, but even there, CFM is the most common
unit.

| FORCE |
|
The Newton is the unit of force of the SI.
A Newton is the force required to give to a mass of 1 kilogram
an acceleration of 1 meter per second.
The most current force is the weight. It is
a vertical force directed to the bottom, which results from
the action of gravity. Whose equivalent is : mass * 9.806
(N/kg) )

| Pression
(the unit of pressure of the S.I
is the Pascal) |
|
The pressure is a force per unit of area.
A Pascal
corresponds to the pressure generated by a force
of 1 Newton acting on a surface of 1 square meter also said
Newton per square meter (N/m2).
It is a rather small unit like result and it more often
used as a kilopascal [ kPa ] or in bar, equivalent to 100
000 Pascal.
Le daN is the 1/10 of N , et le daN/cm2 is equal to 1 bar.

Joule (J) is equivalent to the work produced by a force
of 1 Newton who's the point of application moves of 1 m
in the direction of the force.
The calorie that is still used is quantified under various
values.
The general standard, it is the quantity of heat necessary
to raise 1°C the temperature of 1 gram of water of 14.5
to 15.5°C under the normal atmospheric pressure.
1 calorie = 4.186 J - 0.003968 Btu - 3.087 foot-pounds.
- 1 kg of water at 15°C under 1 atm = 4.1855 kj/kg °C
or 1 kcal/kg °C · 1 kcal = 1.163 w.
- The small calorie or therm, is measured of 3.5°C to
4.5°C (water is densest at 4°C).
The intermediate value of
the calorie in the range of 0°C to 100°C is called the average
calorie; i.e. 1/100 of energy necessary to heat the water
of 1 gram of water of the melting point at its point of
boiling.

A British thermal unit (Btu
or BTU and also known as a
heat unit in the United States)
BTU: It is the quantity of heat necessary to increase the
temperature of a degree Fahrenheit per unit of mass of 1
pound of water, that is to say a mass of 0.4535924 kg.
The British Thermal Unit (BTU) can also take various values
and are called in a similar way to the calorie, that is
Btu (IT), (Th), etc.
One hundred thousand BTU (100 000 Btu) are called a
Therm , thus its exact value depends on which BTU
is used.

| Power (the unit of
power of the S.I = Watt) |
|
The power is the unit of energy per unit of time.
- 1 Joule = 1 Watt during one second.
- 1 Joule (J) = 1 w/s or Newton meter (Nm).
- 1 watt/h = 3600 Joules.
C'est cette unité qui est attribuée aux générateurs
d'énergie (moteurs, chaudières, etc.) ou à
leurs dérivés.
- 1 Watt = 1 Joule pendant une seconde.
Energie (E en Joules) = W (Puissance en watt) x t (temps
en secondes)
Par exemple :
- Une ampoule de 100 W (puissance) sera équivalent
en énergie (E) sur une heure à 0,36 MJ ou
100 Wh.
- Un moteur d'une puissance de 10 ch (7,36 kw) sera équivalent
en énergie (E) sur une heure à 26,5 MJ ou
7,36 kWh.
Attention ceci ne signifie pas la consommation d'énergie
(Il faut intégré tous les rendement et autres
pour obtenir la consommation d'énergie équivalente)
Il y a 2 unités différentes dans l'utilisation
du horse power (HP). La pemière unité (HP
= 745,7 watt) utilisée au USA/UK est basée
sur l'énergie équivalente pour soulever un
poids de 550 livres (pound) au travers 1 pied (foot) en
une seconde. La seconde unité (HP = 736 watt) utilisée
en Europe continentale est basée sur l'énergie
équivalente en énergie à soulever dun
poids de 75 kilogrammes sur 1 mètre en 1 seconde.
