Most engineers understand the concept of pressure. It’s a force, often measured in pounds, on a specific area. It is commonly listed in pounds per square inch (psi). But there are a variety of ...

Understanding how system-component pressure losses influence compressor capacity is essential for cost-effective revamps in FCC units. Depending on the specific limitations of a particular FCC unit, ...

The drivers may be different, but the destination—higher efficiency—is the same worldwide. As a primary component of current efforts to reduce the environmental impact of burning low-cost coal, new ...

The pressure exerted by a solid object which is resting on top of another solid surface is the weight of the object divided by the area of the object's surface. The formula for pressure is: ...

Notice how all the compound units have one thing in common: they are all per square inch or /m 2 or /cm 2. All are saying "per unit area" and so the calculation will always involve dividing by the ...
