Hi Henry I am currently working on a project to design a logo for petrochemical distillation company in South Africa They, strangely enough used the distillation diagram you have on this page as their logo. I have been researching into what other examples I can use as symbolisation. Symbols that carry the correct representation of the evaporation / condensation process, which are simplified. I have been searching for the symbol for condensation & the symbol for evaporation, but I cannot find any sort of symbol. (So I am assuming it doesn't exist?) Being in your industry, what other symbols may be related to the distillation industry or symbols related to the change of liquid - gas states generally in science. Or can you suggest where I can get the symbol for condensation & evaporation? Kindest regards Vanessa
Henry, do you think it is really necessary to include more than a sentence or two stating that vapor pressures are a function of temperature and therefore partial pressures are also a function of temperature? All those equations using function of (T) as in P1(T) and P02(T) are very confusing and, at least to me, they are not needed. Just stating that vapor pressures are functions of temperature and, thus, so are partial pressures ought to be enough. Regards, mbeychok 04:32, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
In the penultimate para starting with:... At a given Ptot ...... in the next line you wrote... function of x1 (or x1) and this ...... Did you not mean the bracketed item to be (or x2) ? Have a nice Christmas and New Year, Cheers LouisBB 20:51, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Someday I plan to take some of the ternary diagram details out of here and instead put in a link to a very similar version of this article in Engineering Wiki which will have this more detailed discussion, which I have yet to copy to Engineering Wiki. I think these details are too involved and complex for the general Wikipedia reader and the link will be there for those few who are truly interested. H Padleckas 01:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Likewise, I could baldly claim that the entire article “was badly rendered with a number of errors”. Or, for example, that all Mbeychok’s edits are typographically illiterate such that they have to be “re-done entirely”. Incnis Mrsi ( talk) 20:40, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
@Incnis Mrsi: The version before that edit had indeed a couple of minor issues: I can see 4 surplus newlines and one missing one, creating funny indentation patterns, a surplus colon and a leading-space box. I didn't check who did that, but I'm quite sure it wasn't you. I can also see some kerning problems, but that of course might depend on browser and preferences.
@mbeychok: I don't think printing is a good way to compare the two versions, in particular not to suggest to another user to print the pages. The rendering might be different on his screen and different again when printing. If you see a problem which he doesn't, the best approach is to describe it or if necessary provide a screenshot, so the problem can be identified and avoided in the future. What I don't understand: if you think LaTeX would be better, why did you put all the effort in converting to HTML? — HHHIPPO 19:43, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
