Thermofluids The Gas Laws

The combination Gas law of pV/T = C can be used to solve most problems because it combines Boyle`s, Charles` and the pressure law. It`s normally used in the form p1V1/T1=p2V2/T2.

A variation is one where the Characteristic Gas Constant `R` is used. For example, R for AIR is 0.287 kJ/kg K.

Question: What are the units for each component of the pV=mRT equation?
