initializePhysicalConstants.m 1.0

initializePhysicalConstants.m loads important physical constants into the structure CONSTS. The CONSTS structure will contain both values (accessible by CONSTS.var_name), and descriptive information (CONSTS.desc.var_name.[Name, Units, Value]).EXAMPLE USAGE: % What are the units of the unversal gas constant? CONSTS.desc.R ans = Name: 'Gas Constant' Units: 'J K^-1 mol^-1' Value: 8.3140 % Atoms in 10 grams of oxygen: V = 1; %L P = 1; % atm T = CONSTS.T_o + 20; % K nMols = P*V / (CONSTS.R*T) nMols = 4.1030e-004 % How may atoms? nAtoms = nMols * CONSTS.N_a nAtoms = 2.4708e+020This program can be vastly improved; I'm happy to do so if people actually use it. (for example: more constants, database functionality, embedded dimensional information...)
