Hello dear

Kindly assist me with the units in the user-defined section: 

The unit of kinematic viscosity as I used previously was mm2/S instead of m2/s. Ideally, it should be mm2/s which I calculated using (dynamic viscosity in mPa.S*1000/Density). Shall, I convert the unit to m2/s instead of mm2/s (in m2/s case the viscosity will be almost zero as mm2/S will need to be divided by 10 raise to 6). 

Moreover, to calculate the enthalpy, I multiplied the Cp with 1000 and temperature to convert it to J/Kg.  

The thermal conductivity unit as mentioned in the GUI is W/m.K but previously I used mW/m.K

Dear, kindly help me to clarify the doubt with the above units and whether if I should avoid any step from my side like multiplying Cp with 1000 to convert KJ/Kg to J/Kg. 

I appreciate your support in this regard. 

Thanking You
Best Regards
