Variables to Be Provided to the Utility Routine

jKey

Key identifier of the physical constant requested.

Key identifier (jKey) Physical constant
j_phcon_Abs0 Absolute zero
j_phcon_Boltzmann Ludwig Boltzmann constant
j_phcon_SplRef Reference pressure used for computing the sound pressure level
j_phcon_StefanB Stefan-Boltzmann constant
j_phcon_UnivGas Universal gas constant
j_phcon_Avogadro Avogadro number
j_phcon_Faraday Faraday constant
j_phcon_eCharge Elementary charge

Variables Returned from the Utility Routine

value

Value of the physical constant requested.

jError

Return code (0 indicates no error, 1 indicates that the physical constant requested is not defined).
