A decametre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and by most English speaking countries, [1] [2] United States spelling dekameter or decameter [3] [4]), symbol dam ("da" for the SI prefix deca-, [1] "m" for the SI unit metre), is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to ten metres.

On the other hand, the second Damköhler number (Da II) is defined in general as: D a I I = k Q c p Δ T {\displaystyle \mathrm {Da} _{\mathrm {II} }={\frac {kQ}{c_{p}\Delta T}}} It compares the process energy of a thermochemical reaction (such as the energy involved in a nonequilibrium gas process) with a related enthalpy difference (driving ...
The kelvin is defined by setting the fixed numerical value of the Boltzmann constant k to 1.380 649 × 10 −23 J⋅K −1, (J = kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2), given the definition of the kilogram, the metre, and the second.
A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]
19 cm = 1.9 dm – length of a banana; 26.3 cm = 2.6 dm – length of average male human foot; 29.98 cm = 2.998 dm – distance light in vacuum travels in one nanosecond; 30 cm = 3.0 dm – maximum leg length of a Goliath birdeater; 31 cm = 3.1 dm – wingspan of largest butterfly species Ornithoptera alexandrae
Two numbers are "within an order of magnitude" of each other if their ratio is between 1/10 and 10. In other words, the two numbers are within about a factor of 10 of each other. [1] For example, 1 and 1.02 are within an order of magnitude. So are 1 and 2, 1 and 9, or 1 and 0.2.
