  • Handout – Unit Conversions (Dimensional Analysis)
    1 Handout – Unit Conversions (Dimensional Analysis) The Metric System had its beginnings back in 1670 by a mathematician called Gabriel Mouton. The modern version, (since 1960) is correctly called "International System of Units" or "SI" (from the French "Système International"). The metric system has been officially sanctioned for use in the United States since 1866, but it remains the only industrialized country that has not adopted the metric system as its official system of measurement. Many sources also cite Liberia and Burma as the only other countries not to have done so. This section will cover conversions (1) selected units Basic metric units in the metric and American systems, (2) compound or derived measures, and (3) between metric and length meter (m) American systems. Also, (4) applications using conversions will be presented. mass gram (g) The metric system is based on a set of basic units and volume liter (L) prefixes representing powers of 10. time second (s) temperature Celsius (°C) or Kelvin (°K) where C=K-273.15 Prefixes (The units that are in bold are the ones that are most commonly used.) prefix symbol value giga G 1,000,000,000 = 109 ( a billion) mega M 1,000,000 = 106 ( a million) kilo k 1,000 = 103 hecto h 100 = 102 deca da 10 1 1 -1 deci d = 0.1 = 10 10 1 -2 centi c = 0.01 = 10 100 1 -3 milli m = 0.001 = 10 (a thousandth) 1,000 1 -6 micro μ (the Greek letter mu) = 0.000001 = 10 (a millionth) 1,000,000 1 -9 nano n = 0.000000001 = 10 (a billionth) 1,000,000,000 2 To get a sense of the size of the basic units of meter, gram and liter consider the following examples.

Setyo Nugroho geb. in Tuban, Indonesien an der Fakultät V Verkehrs- und Machinensysteme Technische Universität Berlin zur Erlangung des Grades Doktor-Ingenieur -Dr.-Ing.- genehmigte Dissertation Promotionsausschuss: Vorsitzende: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gerhard Hüttig Berichter: Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Horst Linde Berichter: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Erhard Konrad Tag der wissenschaftliche Aussprache: 13. Juni 2005 BERLIN 2005 D83 Dedicated to: my children, my wife and my parents i Summary This thesis aims at contributing a new perspective on the way living pro- blems in shipping practice are addressed. Shipping is the workhorse of the world economy. It connects nearly all parts of the world. State of the macro economy, weather and political events affect the sector very much. The magnitude of their influence is unclear and is difficult to justify objectively. Those aspects are taken into account when determining of freight rates or charter hire. Therefore shipping can be viewed as a complex system. The existing tools including market forecasts and shipping indexes are less useful for conducting daily shipping practice. Information is available in abundance, but the useful one is still scarce and expensive. In spite of the complexity of the living problems in shipping, an experi- enced shipping practitioner can solve problems quickly and -frequently- sa- tisfactorily. An experienced ship broker, for example, can assess the value of ships better and faster than any value assessment method.
