This part I really appreciate
2) Provide units (mostly bar) for all settings having units.
Are any of these units that would have to switch if we switch from metric
to imperial? Obviously the partial pressures stay in bar. I think this is
all fine, but something to make sure that we keep in mind.

Also, as far as metabolic rate is concerned, the metric unit is
universally accepted. In imperial units, metabolic rate is often
calculated technically as MET (metabolic equivalent), but 1 /MET/ = 3.5
ml O2/kg/min, which brings us back to the metric unit. The unit of ml
O2/kg/min is referred to as the VO2. I have never seen VO2 expressed in
imperial measures, principally because there is not a direct and
scale-equivalent analog of ml in imperial units (cu ft is not useful
here). There is a reasonable explanation in the Wikipedia articles on
VO2. and MET.
Overall, I think we are reasonably safe.
Kind regards,
