Physical units and dimensions.
The base class is Unit, where all here defined units (~200) inherit from.
The find_unit function can help you find units for a given quantity:
>>> import sympy.physics.units as u
>>> u.find_unit('coul')
['coulomb', 'coulombs']
>>> u.find_unit(u.charge)
['C', 'charge', 'coulomb', 'coulombs']
>>> u.coulomb
A*s
Units are always given in terms of base units that have a name and
an abbreviation:
>>> u.A.name
'ampere'
>>> u.ampere.abbrev
'A'
The generic name for a unit (like 'length', 'mass', etc...)
can help you find units:
>>> u.find_unit('magnet')
['magnetic_flux', 'magnetic_constant', 'magnetic_flux_density']
>>> u.find_unit(u.magnetic_flux)
['Wb', 'wb', 'weber', 'webers', 'magnetic_flux']
If, for a given session, you wish to add a unit you may do so:
>>> u.find_unit('gal')
[]
>>> u.gal = 4*u.quart
>>> u.gal/u.inch**3
231
To see a given quantity in terms of some other unit, divide by the desired
unit:
>>> mph = u.miles/u.hours
>>> (u.m/u.s/mph).n(2)
2.2
The units are defined in terms of base units, so when you divide similar
units you will obtain a pure number. This means, for example, that if you
divide a real-world mass (like grams) by the atomic mass unit (amu) you
will obtain Avogadro's number. To obtain the answer in moles you
should divide by the unit ``avogadro``:
>>> u.grams/u.amu
602214085700000000000000
>>> _/u.avogadro
mol
For chemical calculations the unit ``mmu`` (molar mass unit) has been
defined so this conversion is handled automatically. For example, the
number of moles in 1 kg of water might be calculated as:
>>> u.kg/(18*u.mmu).n(3)
55.5*mol
If you need the number of atoms in a mol as a pure number you can use
``avogadro_number`` but if you need it as a dimensional quantity you should use
``avogadro_constant``. (``avogadro`` is a shorthand for the dimensional
quantity.)
>>> u.avogadro_number
602214085700000000000000
>>> u.avogadro_constant
602214085700000000000000/mol
Values of constants are recommended by Committee on Data for Science and
Technology (CODATA) as of 2014. See more at http://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.07956.pdf
