The following figure is a two-dimensional example illustrating the symbols used in the previous relationship.

A number of glossaries of terms and symbols used in the several branches of chemistry have been pubHshed. They include physical chemistry (102), physical—organic chemistry (103), and chemical terminology (other than nomenclature) treated in its entirety (104). lUPAC has also issued recommendations in the fields of analytical chemistry (105), coUoid and surface chemistry (106), ion exchange (107), and spectroscopy (108), among others. 

In this listing, symbols used in this section are defined in a general way and appropriate SI units are given. Specific definitions, as denoted hy subscripts, are stated at the place of application in the section. Some specialized symbols used in the section are defined only at the place of application. Some symbols have more than one definition the appropriate one is identified at the place of application. 

Plant-Performance Triangle This view of plant-performance analysis is depicted in Fig. 30-1 as a plant-performance triangle. Figure 30-2 provides a key to the symbols used. 

The random nature of most physieal properties, sueh as dimensions, strength and loads, is well known to statistieians. Engineers too are familiar with the typieal appearanee of sets of tensile strength data in whieh most of the individuals eongregate around mid-range and fewer further out to either side. Statistieians use the mean to identify the loeation of a set of data on the seale of measurement and the variance (or standard deviation) to measure the dispersion about the mean. In a variable x , the symbols used to represent the mean are /i and i for a population and sample respeetively. The symbol for varianee is V. The symbols for standard deviation are cr and. V respeetively, although a is often used for both. In this book we will always use the notation /i for mean and cr for the standard deviation.

To summarize, the symbols used in the development of the expression are defined as follows ... 

Table 14-5 shows symbols used in RP 14C to represent the various sensors and shutdown devices. Although these symbols are used extensively in U.S. production facilities, they are not used in other indusiries. They are widely used overseas and are understood by all who are involved in production facility design. In other countries and other industries, the ISA symbol system is more common. 

Operational sequence diagrams are flcw-charting techniques that represent any sequence of control movements and information collection activities that are executed in order to perform a task. Various activities in the diagram are represented with a symbolic notation, supported where necessary by a text description. For the majority of simple applications, OSDs assume a linear flow drawn from top to bottom with a limited degree of branching and looping. The symbols used are usually tailored to fit the type of task being studied and its level of analysis. 

FIGURE 5.8 Two structural motifs that arrange the primary structure of proteins into a higher level of organization predominate in proteins the a-helix and the /3-pleated strand. Atomic representations of these secondary structures are shown here, along with the symbols used by structural chemists to represent them the flat, helical ribbon for the a-helix and the flat, wide arrow for /3-structures. Both of these structures owe their stability to the formation of hydrogen bonds between N—H and 0=C functions along the polypeptide backbone (see Chapter 6). 

Because the reboiler is usually used in conjunction with distillation columns, the terminology and symbols used here will relate to that application. Assume a column with an overhead total condenser and a bottoms reboiler (see Figures 10-96D and 10-96E). Assuming all liquid feed, the heat balance is ... 

Terms and symbols used in computing heat loss are as follows. 

The symbol used is dependent upon the method of expressing the concentration of the solution. The recommendations of the IUPAC Commision on Symbols, Terminology and Units (1969) are as follows concentration in moles per litre (molarity), activity coefficient represented by y, concentration in mols per kilogram (molality), activity coefficient represented by y, concentration expressed as mole fraction, activity coefficient represented by f...

If teaching and learning about the submicro is complex, then that about the symbolic is even more so. In Chapter 4, Taber unpicks in detail the ranges of symbolisms used in chemistry the spread of types invoked, those used to represent chemical entities and those used to represent reactions between them. In each case, he analyses the educational problems that they present. He concludes with some broad precepts about how symbolic representations might best be presented in chemical education.
