Hi all,
One aspect of Amber that I've been a little confused on is whether it uses bar or atm for its units of pressure. The manual says, "Reference pressure (in units of bar, where 1 bar 1 atm [sic]) at which the pressure is maintained".
In the past, I think that it had read "1 bar = 1 atm", except that we know 1 bar is not exactly 1 atm. Which left me not sure whether pressure units supposedly in bars were actually treated as though in atm, or whether the equals sign was meant to be an almost-equals sign that got badly rendered.
For the sake of clarity, I've got the lyx files, and I'm tempted to replace "1 bar 1 atm" with something like "1 bar = 0.9869 atm". Before I go ahead, does that accurately describe how Amber treats things?
Cheers,
Ben
