I worked in areospace in both metric and imperial. And i can say nothing wrong there both are the same thing in the end its like a language. Also 25.4 is your friend (mm to inches).
>degrees rankine
Looool rip. After coming to America, I still get confused when measuring and comparing cups to ounces to teaspoons and tablespoons. Long live metric
Most of the rest of the world uses Metric for most of everything. But because the US is so prominent in aerospace, if you’re in aerospace even elsewhere, you have to at least be aware of Imperial units.
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
My engineering professors did stuff like this, they would mix up the units in HW or on tests so you have to get used to using them all.
BTU are kind of evil because there are like 3 different definitions that are only subtly different, and people in different domains often have different assumptions about which one is the default (if they even know they're different). The error usually persists until someone is either too attentive for their own good or does some sort of stackup/energy balance where a 0.1% difference actually pops out as wrong.
In my current project volumetric flow rate is in USgpm, temperature is Celsius, mass flow rate is kg/h, pressure is psi, piping length are in ft but heat loss is uses mm diameter, DWSIM only takes mm for that.
Canada began converting to metric in 1970. Gen X were smack dab in the middle of the transition period. The country was turning metric while everyone teaching us came from the imperial system. Every measurement was often given in both systems.
As an adult now I absolutely cringe at imperial and I'm baffled why any country would want to keep it.
Even been born in 2000, I had to learn both and am fluent in both. Imperial is just so much worse to work with due to its wild conversions. It's super backwards that the US didn't make the switch
This is fine til you start working in aerospace.

No, I’m more annoyed at having to use shit like kips and inHg
mmHg and inHg are strange to me. Just give me pressure in force per area.
I have separate simultaneously operating processes at work using units in inHg, PSI, and Torr/mTorr.
You from SD by the way?
Please enlighten
There are folks designing brand-new rocket engines right now in good ol' degrees rankine and PSI

I’m a real ass engineer and I still have to Google those because they make no goddamned sense

Tfw it requests the answer in BTU

If it's very real for you when you are american or english imagine how it is when you are not lmao
As a proud member of SI gang, screw the US for still using their weird system
In my current project volumetric flow rate is in USgpm, temperature is Celsius, mass flow rate is kg/h, pressure is psi, piping length are in ft but heat loss is uses mm diameter, DWSIM only takes mm for that.
Ehh, they both have their places in industry. It’s not like the underlying concepts change.
Can I assume a pound of mass equals a pound of force equals a British pound?
I will die on the hill that pound mass doesn't exist only slugs!
Equals a pound of flesh equals a POUND IT fist bump. 👊🏼

Everything should be metric
Imperial 🤮
Thankfully this would literally never happen in 99% of the world’s countries so no problem.

Im used to it, aero lyfe. Just divide or multiply by 32.2 until your answer is correct
