Dear Prof David Case,


Thank you for the quick reply.

I do still believe that MPa is actually the correct unit.

Inside the code the conversion form 1/A^3 pressure to Pa-s is made on the line
821 of rism1d.F90 file:

         write(unit,valFmt) pressureFE&
              *1.d24 * boltzmann*rism%pot%temperature

boltzmann*rism%pot%temperature gives J (the value of boltzmann is
specified in constants.F90 file).
To convert from J/A^3 to J/m^3 = Pa one needs to multiply by 1.d30. To
convert from J/A^3 to MPa one would multiply by 1.d24, which is exactly
what is done inside the code.


Kind regards,
Maksim Mišin
