RE: units of variables?
This doesn't answer your question, but "kg" is not a unit of force. 1 bar is 10^5 N / m^2 or 10 N / cm^2. 1 kg does weigh about 10 newtons (9.81 N, in fact) but it is a mass, not a force. If you insist on using it instead of newtons you could write "kgf" for "kilogram-force", meaning a force equal to the weight of 1 kg in standard gravity. 1 kgf / cm^2 still won't be 1 bar, though.

Sorry - I teach Physics; I can't help it!
