	Dimensionless quantity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A dimensionless quantity (or more precisely, a quantity of dimension 1) is a physical quantity consisting of only a numerical number without any physical units.
		Dimensionless quantities are widely used in the fields of physics and engineering but also in everyday life.
		The power consumption of a stirrer with a particular geometry is a function of the density and the viscosity of the fluid to be stirred, the size of the stirrer given by its diameter, and the speed of the stirrer.

	Dimensional analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is essentially due to the requirement for the Taylor expansion of these functions to be dimensionally homogeneous, which means that the square of the argument must be of the same dimension as the argument itself.
		For scalar arguments, this means the argument must be dimensionless, but certain dimensioned tensors are dimensionally self-square (Hart, 1995) and may be used as arguments to these functions.
		Then when adding two quantities of like dimension, but expressed in different units, the appropriate conversion factor, which is essentially the dimensionless 1, is used to convert the quantities to identical units so that their numerical values can be added or subtracted.

	BIPM - dimensionless quantities
		The coherent SI unit of all such dimensionless quantities, or quantities of dimension one, is the number one, since the unit must be the ratio of two identical SI units.
		Another class of dimensionless quantities are numbers that represent a count, such as a number of molecules, degeneracy (number of energy levels), and partition function in statistical thermodynamics (number of thermally accessible states).
		All of these counting quantities are also described as being dimensionless, or of dimension one, and are taken to have the SI unit one, although the unit of counting quantities cannot be described as a derived unit expressed in terms of the base units of the SI.

		Chemical engineers become accustomed to dealing with dimensionless groups such as the Reynold's number, the Prandtl number, the Grasshof number, etc. These dimensionless groups arise when the differential equations describing the process are recast in terms of dimensionless variables.
		This means that the solution of Newton's equation of motion yields identical dimensionless velocities and trajectories for all LJ fluids; i.e., the trajectory of the system through dimensionless phase space is identical for all conformal fluids at the same dimensionless state point.
		Thus, the results of the simulation are not just dependent upon the dimensionless state of the system, but also upon the nature of the second component; i.e., upon the ratio of the model energy and size parameters.

		If you take the SI definitions literally, a mole is not dimensionless, but has dimensions of its own, namely “amount of substance”.
		Just as it is often fruitful to re-interpret luminous intensity in terms of simpler SI dimensions of time, length, and mass, so it is often fruitful to re-interpret the mole as a dimensionless unit, just like a "dozen", except larger.
