Slight declines in natural gas consumption in the electric power sector are expected as natural gas prices rise. EIA expects a 0.1 Bcf/d (0.3%) reduction in consumption of natural gas for power generation in 2016 and a 1.4% decrease in 2017.
Engineering drawing. An engineering drawing, a type of technical drawing, is used to fully and clearly define requirements for engineered items. Engineering drawing produces engineering drawings. More than merely the drawing of pictures, it is also a languageâa graphical language that communicates ideas and information from one mind to another.
See Engineering drawing. In making a pictorial drawing, the viewing direction that shows the object and its details to the best advantage is chosen. The resultant drawing is orthographic if the viewing rays are considered as parallel, or perspective if the rays are considered as meeting at the eye of the observer.). Oblique pictorial drawings, while not true orthographic views, offer a convenient method for drawing circles and other curves in their true shape (Fig. 2). In order to reduce the distortion in an oblique drawing, measurements along the receding axis may be foreshortened.
