The Smith Chart
The Smith Chart was originally created many years ago as an RF engineering aid by Phillip Smith of RCA. Actually, Smith may not have been the first inventor of this tool -- a Japanese engineer named Kurakawa independently created a similar chart about a year before Smith. In any event, the Chart is a clever, complex number nomograph in a circular format which is an invaluable tool in RF design...

A brief introduction to nomography:
graphical representation of mathematical relationships
Leslie Glasser & Ron Doerfler
Leslie Glasser & Ron Doerfler
Nomographs (or nomograms, or alignment charts) are graphical representations of mathematical relationships (extending to empirical relationships of data) which are used by simply applying a straightedge across the plot through points on scales representing independent variables, which then crosses the corresponding datum point for the dependent variable; the choice among independent and dependent variable is arbitrary so that each variable may be determined in terms of the others. Examples of nomographs in common current use compute the lift available for a hot-air balloon, the boiling points of solvents under reduced pressure in the chemistry laboratory, and the relative forces in a centrifuge in a biochemical laboratory. Sundials represent another ancient yet widely familiar example. With the advent and ready accessibility of the computer, printed mathematical tables, slide rules and nomographs became generally redundant. However, nomographs provide insight into mathematical relationships, are useful for rapid and repeated application, even in the absence of calculational facilities, and can reliably be used in the field. Many nomographs for various purposes may be found online. This paper describes the origins and development of nomographs, illustrating their use with some relevant examples. A supplementary interactive Excel file demonstrates their application for some simple mathematical operations.

Original methodology and nomography tool
for dimensioning multi-packed-bed dehumidifiers
Rached Nciri, Kamel Rabhi, Faouzi Nasri, Chaouki Ali & Habib Ben Bacha
AbstractRached Nciri, Kamel Rabhi, Faouzi Nasri, Chaouki Ali & Habib Ben Bacha
This work deals with the dimensioning of multi-packed-bed dehumidifiers used in solar air-conditioning systems. An efficient dimensioning methodology is elaborated, explained and visualized by a chart. The proposed methodology permits to ensure an appropriate packed-bed dimensioning based on a compromise between the highest possible amount of heat and mass transfer and the lowest possible level of pressure drop within a packed-bed-dehumidifier. Nomography tool is implemented in order to simplify, speed up and expand the possibilities of dimensioning. The proposed nomographs permit to determine the appropriate values of the diameter, the porosity and the height of the packed-bed. The mathematical construction techniques of all nomographs are presented in detail. Applied examples are carried out in order to show the effectiveness of each nomograph.

Mathematics of nomography
Mathematik und Anwendungen, Chapter 5,
Traditionally, history of mathematics was more interested in the production of abstract concepts and major theories than in the one of methods and tools of calculation. As a result, it has often neglected to consider the mathematical practices of engineers. I want to sketch here a sample of these practices through the example of nomography in the second half of 19th century and first half of the 20th century, precisely at the time when the professional community of engineers structures itself and deepens its mathematical culture.

The forming time necessary to superplastically form an object from a metal sheet is estimated by empirical analysis. The required rate of gas mass flow into a forming cavity is then determined using either a nomograph composed of four interrelated graphs, or a single graph which requires the input of fewer variables than the nomograph. The present invention may also be used to form cells of multiple sheet panels from a stack of sheets. In the latter application, forming time necessary to complete forming of the cells from an interim point where the core sheet forming pressure and the die temperature are increased from interim levels to their final values is estimated by empirical analysis. A nomograph or single graph of the present invention then determines the gas mass flow rate necessary to safely and efficiently complete forming of the cells from the foregoing interim point. In both of the foregoing embodiments, the required gas mass flow rate, which is a target value, is maintained by regulating the forming pressure until the final forming pressure is reached.

SUBSTANCE: method provides for feed of massecuite to the agitators - crystallizers and measurement of the content of dry substances, purity and crystals in the massecuite, dry substances and purity of the mother liquor. The process of crystallization is carried out by cooling of the massecuite at agitation until the final preset values of temperature, content of crystals in the massecuite, dry substances and purity of the mother liquor are attained, they are determined by reference to a nomograph plotted beforehand. The scale of purity of the mother liquor is located in the lower part of the homograph, and the scale of the content of dry substances of the mother liquor of boiled massecuite before discharging is located its upper part. Located in the Y-axis of the homograph are the scales of the content of crystals in the massecuite, dry substances of the mother liquor of the massecuite at the end of cooling, final cooling temperature. Some of the curves of the homograph characterize the variation of the content of massecuite dry substances in the process of boiling, and the other curves have a section concerning the purity of the massecuite in the process of boiling, and a section characterizing the massecuite purity in the process of cooling. Depending on the found values of the content of crystals in the massecuite, dry substances and purity of the mother liquor, the content of dry substances and the purity of the massecuite before feeding of the massecuite to the mixers-crystallizers are corrected for attaining the final preset values of cooling temperature, content of crystals in the massecuite, dry substances and purity of the mother liquor. EFFECT: accelerated process of check of crystallization of the laser-strike massecuite, improved crystal structure of it and enhanced sugar output.

FIELD: seismology. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the
field of seismology and can be used for predicting tsunamis.
Seismic signals are registered from earthquakes by seismographs,
located in the peaks of equilateral triangles on bed rock. They
determine the time the seismic signals were caused, the distance
using triangulation. They measure the speed of the longitudinal
and diametric waves in the volume of rock in the disposition of
the triangle. The read the seismic signals from the earthquake.
They measure the time of the delay. They determine using the two
minimum times of the delay the azimuthal angles between the norm
to the front of the seismic wave, occurring through the centre of
the triangle, the epicenter of the earthquake, and the given
initiating point of the report. The precise location of the
epicenter of the earthquake, the magnitude of the temporal delay
for the horizontal plain (surface of the earth), the angle of the
location of the focus, the distance, the focus, the distance to
the epicenter, the depth of the focus are calculated. At the
seismic monitoring station with the aid of a computer the maximum
magnitude of the observed underwater earthquake is calculated in
microns or seismograms. The magnitude (M) is then calculated
according to the Richter scale using a nomograph. If MëÑ7 then the
conclusion is that a tsunami is possible. To confirm the accuracy
of the information a check is carried out on the presence of
tsunami waves with the help of information received by radio from
a device for determining tsunami waves, located in the ocean in
the proximity of contact between the lithosphere plates or the
break in the earth's core. Furthermore, information is taken and
analysed about the wave's movements from the surface to the seabed
at a speed of 700-900 km/hour. The force of wave pressure is taken
into account. The height of the tsunami wave is taken into account
on its approach to the shore line. The time of the approach of the
tsunami to the shoreline is calculated and the population
informed. ^ EFFECT: increased responsiveness and accuracy in
determining tsunamis. METHOD FOR EVALUATING PHYSICAL-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF HIGH-VISCOSITY SHEET STRUCTURAL STEELS

A calculating device comprising a flat generally oval-shaped card member having a perimeter defining somewhat semicircular sections interconnected by a central elongated section. The central section is formed of a generally straight periphery. A pair of indicating arms are rotatable about a pivot point on the member. The pivot point may be along the longitudinal axis of the card member, and offset from the center of the member. In addition, a scale may be printed on one side of the periphery of the member. Moreover, the semicircular sections can be identical in size, and a scale printed on the other side of the member and adjacent the periphery of the member may be the reciprocal of the scale on the first side. In addition, the calculating device may be used as a loan payment computer for determining the periodic payments due on a predetermined loan. By providing the card member with a plurality of interest rate curves which are juxtaposed with a plurality of loan duration curves, the scale may be representative of periodic payments. Thus, by positioning one of the indicia arms at the intersection of the desired interest rate and loan duration, the resultant position on the scale would be representative of the periodic payment for the intersecting interest rate and loan duration.
