A direct angle may be thought of as an amount of rotation rather than a figure. If AE is considered the initial position of the ray, which is then rotated about its end point A to form [Pg.28]

Walk (of hole) The tendency of a wellbore to deviate in the horizontal plane. Wellbore survey calculation methods Refers to the mathematical methods and assumptions used in reconstructing the path of the wellbore and in generating the space curve path of the wellbore from inclination and direction angle measurements taken along the wellbore. These measurements are obtained from gyroscopic or magnetic instruments of either the single-shot or multishot type. 

Figure 11-2 Two illustrations of the x-direction angle (a) and y-direction angle (/3) for a two-dimensional coordinate system.

Figure 11-3 The x-direction angle a and j-direction angle /3 for a line segment, where A is (3, 5) and B is (2, 7) (see example in text).

This well-known expression is also equivalent to the tangent of the x direction angle for the line segment defined by the two points on the line. Thus the slope of the line given in Figure 11-4 is tan(120°) = -1.74. 

Figure 11-4 Illustration of the slope of a line given an x-direction angle of 120°.

Because the third dimension is represented by the z axis, we calculate the z-direction angle on the (x, z) plane as y ... 

Therefore, we can project the AB vector in 3-D space onto 2-D space by using a projection onto the (x, z) plane, resulting in a point on a vector (on the 2-D (x, z) plane) the vector being 6.33 units in length and having an X-direction angle equal to 71.57° (as in Figure 13-4). 

Let us begin by representing a row matrix M = (1,2,3) in column space as shown in Figure 14-1. Note that the row vector M = (1,2, 3) projects onto the plane defined by columns 1 and 2 as a point (1, 2) or a vector (straight line) with a Cx direction angle (a) equal to...

The vector sum of the two column vectors is the first principal component (PCI), (b) A close-up view of Figure 14-3a, illustrating the line segments, direction angles, and projection of Columns 1 and 2 onto the first principal component.

Epoxybutane and tetrahydrofuran both have the molecular formula C4HgO—that is, they are constitutional isomers—and so it is appropriate to compare their heats of combustion directly. Angle strain from the three-membered ring of 1,2-epoxybutane causes it to have more internal energy than tetrahydrofuran, and its combustion is more exothermic.
