We use the mks (meter-kilogram-second) SI (Systeme International) system of units in (most) calculations in this text. The base units (see Chapter 5) of the mks system are given in Table B.l. 

This book provides a handy and convenient source of formulas, conversion factors and constants for students and professionals in engineering, chemistry, mathematics and physics. Section 1 covers the fundamental tools of mathematics needed in all areas of the physical sciences. Section 2 summarizes the SI system (International System of Units of measurement), lists conversion factors and gives precise values of fundamental constants. Sections 3 and 4 review the basic terms of spectroscopy, atomic structure and wave mechanics. These sections serve as a guide to the interpretation of modem literature. Section 5 is a resource for work in the laboratory, listing data and formulas needed in connection with frequently used equipment such as vacuum systems and electronic devices. Material constants and other data are listed for information and as an aid for estimates or problem solving. 

Enzymes are classified in terms of the reactions which they catalyse and were formerly named by adding the suffix ase to the substrate or to the process of the reaction. In order to clarify the confusing nomenclature a system has been developed by the International Union of Biochemistry and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (see Enzyme Nomenclature , Elsevier, 1973). The enzymes are classified into divisions based on the type of reaction catalysed and the particular substrate. The suffix ase is retained and recommended trivial names and systematic names for classification are usually given when quoting a particular enzyme. Any one particular enzyme has a specific code number based upon the new classification. 

The classification of motor oils has not been completed in the ISO standard because the technical differences between motors in different parts of the world, particularly Europe and the United States, make the implementation of a single system of classification and specifications very difficult. In practice, different systems coming from national or international organizations are used. The best known is the SAE viscosity classification from the Society of Automotive Engineers, developed in the United States.

The nomenclature used in Volume 1 is based on the recommendations of the lUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) for the system of units utilized as well as for their symbols. The reference is entitled,... 

Impingement demister systems are designed to intercept liquid particles before the gas outlet. They are usually constructed from wire mesh or metal plates and liquid droplets impinge on the internal surfaces of the mist mats or plate labyrinth as the gas weaves through the system. The intercepted droplets coalesce and move downward under gravity into the liquid phase. The plate type devices or vane packs are used where the inlet stream is dirty as they are much less vulnerable to clogging than the mist mat. 

Ship-shaped FPSOs must be designed to weather vane i.e. must have the ability to rotate in the direction of wind or current. This requires complex mooring systems and the connections with the well heads must be able to accommodate the movement. The mooring systems can be via a single buoy or, in newer vessels designed for the harsh environments of the North Sea, via an internal or external turret. Figure 10.33 shows a schematic of the Shell-BP Foinaven FPSO. 

Telecommunications systems will include internal communications within the platforms (telephone, radio, walkie-talkie, air-ground-air, navigation, public address) and external systems (telephone, telex, fax, telemetry, VFIF radio, and possibly satellite links). These systems are designed to handle the day-to-day communications as well as emergency situations. 

The systems of such type have been developed of all last 10 years. We shall bring some characteristics of one of the last development within the framework of European BRITE project, carried out in LETT This 3D cone-beam tomograph is referred to as EVA Bench or Equipment for Voludensimetry Analysis. It is oriented on NDT of industrial products from ceramics and other composites. One of the main task of this tomograph is achievement of high resolution at study of whole internal volume of researched object. For test sample of the size 10mm spatial resolution in 50mm was obtained [14].

In this section results will be presented using test samples to determine the accuracy of our approach. Further on an example is shown using the system to analyse casting defects. For the experiments moderate projective magnifications between 1.1 and 1.4 were chosen. The test samples used to determine the accuracy of calibration, 3D defect position and volume estimation consist of several holes representing internal defects of different but known size and shape.

One more significant aspect of modem microscopy is the quantitative interpretation of the images in terms of the microstmcture of the object. Although most microscopes include or can be combined with powerful image processing systems, the interpretation of the contrast is still the main problem. On the other hand, reliable micromorpbological information could be easily obtained from a set of thin flat cross sections which reveal only density information, from which case accurate two- and three-dimensional numerical parameters of the internal microstmcture could be calculated. 

The cabinet system includes full radiation safety in the form of dual, forced breaking door interlocks so that there can be no risk of exposure outside the cabinet. Equally the system is equipped with emergency stops and red lights indicating when X-rays are on, in accordance with the international regulations.

Flow measurements using tracers are performed in all piping systems carrying oil, gas or water including separators, compressors, injector systems, and flares. Calibration of elsewhere difficult accessible flow meters is regularly performed by the tracer methods, which are based on international standards. Tracer flow measurements are also well suited for special purposes... 

One of the earliest NDT applications for laser-based profilometry systems was for the inspection of marine boiler tubes. Under funding from the U.S. Navy", several systems were developed that were capable of rapidly and accurately mapping the inside surface of 25 mm and 50 mm diameter boiler tubing. Features such as internal pitting and corrosion can be located and quantitatively assessed using computer-graphic analysis. The system employs an... 

One complication is the matter of units while the Systeme International d Unites (SI) requires additional and sometimes awkward constants, its broad use requires attention [1]. Hence, while we present the derivation in the cgs/esu system, we show alternative forms appropriate to the SI system in Tables V-1 and V-2. 

The detailed consideration of these equations is due largely to Kozeny [50] the reader is also referred to Collins [51]. However, it is apparent that, subject to assumptions concerning the topology of the porous system, the determination of K provides an estimate of Ao- It should be remembered that Ao will be the external area of the particles and will not include internal area due to pores (note Ref. 52). Somewhat similar equations apply in the case of gas flow the reader is referred to Barrer [53] and Kraus and co-workers [54]. 

Even with these complications due to anliannonicity, tlie vibrating diatomic molecule is a relatively simple mechanical system. In polyatomics, the problem is fiindamentally more complicated with the presence of more than two atoms. The anliannonicity leads to many extremely interestmg effects in tlie internal molecular motion, including the possibility of chaotic dynamics. 

Molecules larger than those considered so far are fonned by linking together several smaller components. A new kind of dynamics typical of these systems is already seen in a molecule such as C2Hg, in which there is hindered rotation of the two methyl groups. Systems with hindered internal rotation have been studied in great...
