Kinds of Quantities
jerbaroo opened this issue · comments
All the schemes described above, use a simplified representation of physical types, and do not incorporate ‘kind-of-quantity’ (KOQ), which is another attribute [7] of a physical type, at a higher abstraction than dimension. Thus, two quantities may have the same dimensions, but can be different kinds of quantities. Familiar examples are energy and torque, both of dimension ML2T-2, and heat capacity and entropy, both of dimension ML2T-2Θ-1.

Is it possible with this units
package to e.g. prevent addition of a value of type torque to a value of type energy?
