Preface
Technical terms are in reality symbols adopted, adapted, or
invented by specialists and technicians in a certain field to
facilitate short expressions needed for communication without
repeated explanations.
The aim of this dictionary is to give definitions of terms that are
in use in manufacturing industries and in skilled trades in the
field of chemical engineering, together with the corresponding
terms in French, German, and Spanish. With student use in mind,
illustrations and information about typical applications and
equipment sizes are given in addition to some of the definitions.
The dictionary represents an expansion and up-to-date revision of a
corresponding Norwegian dictionary by the same authors in 1988.
About half of the figures are from two textbooks by one of the
authors (A. L. Lydersen: Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer, John Wiley &
Sons, Chichester, 1979, and Mass Transfer in Engineering Practice,
John Wiley & Sons, Chichester, 1983). The rest were drawn for the
Norwegian dictionary and for the present one. The last 45 pages
contain a list of symbols, a conversion table, and French, German
and Spanish indices.
The authors are grateful for valuable suggestions from staff in
industry and at the Norwegian Institute of Technology. We also give
special thanks to Professor Jacques Villermaux, Laboratoire de
Sciences du Genie Chimique, Nancy, France, to Professor Dr Hanns
Hofmann, Institut für technische Chemie der Universität
Erlangen-Nüberg, Erlangen, Germany, and to Professor José Coca,
Department of Chemical Engineering, Universidad de Oviedo, Oviedo,
Spain, for adding the French, German and Spanish terms.
It is our hope that the dictionary will be useful to engineers,
students, teachers, and translators.
