Dose estimation numerical factor

In Sec. 2.9, we arrived at Eq. 5 for estimating the dose received by a specimen. We show here the numerical factors from that equation in meter-kilogram-second units:

$\displaystyle {\cal D} (\mbox{Gray})$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle 2 N_{A} r_{e} hc 
\frac{1}{\eta \Delta^{2} A} 
\sum_{i} \phi_{i} \tau_{i} f_{2,i}$  
  $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle 2\cdot
(6.022\times 10^{23} \frac{\mbox{atoms}}{\mbox{mole}})\cdot
(2.818\times 10^{-15}\mbox{ m})$  
    $\displaystyle  \cdot
(1239.852\mbox{ eV}\cdot\mbox{nm}) \cdot
(1.6022\times 10...
...9} \frac{\mbox{Joule}}{\mbox{eV}}) \cdot
(10^{-9} \frac{\mbox{m}}{\mbox{nm}})$  
    $\displaystyle  \cdot
\frac{1}{\eta \cdot [\Delta (\mbox{nm})]^{2}\cdot A (\mbox{g/mole})}
\cdot \frac{1}{(10^{-9}\mbox{ m/nm})^{2}\cdot (10^{-3}\mbox{ kg/g})}$  
    $\displaystyle  \cdot \sum_{i} \phi_{i} (10^{3}\mbox{ photons/sec})\cdot
\tau_{i} (10^{-3}\mbox{sec})\cdot f_{2,i}$  
  $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle \frac{6.74\times 10^{5}}

\tau_{i} (10^{-3}\mbox{sec})\cdot f_{2,i}$ (9)
