Units, Dimensions, and Dimensionless Numbers

""Units, Dimensions, and Dimensionless Numbers"" by David Carl Ipsen is a comprehensive guide to understanding the fundamental concepts of measurement in physics and engineering. The book begins by introducing the concept of units and dimensions, explaining the importance of standard units and how to convert between different units. It then delves into the concept of dimensionless numbers, which are used to describe physical quantities that are independent of any particular unit system. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the use of dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and chemical engineering. It also includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers practice applying the concepts learned. This book is an essential resource for students and professionals in the fields of physics, engineering, and mathematics who need a solid understanding of measurement and its applications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
