The logging process whereby a neutron source is lowered down the hole followed by a recorder. When a hydrogen-bearing strata is located (which may be petroleum or water), the neutrons are absorbed. They disintegrate the hydrogen atoms, releasing alpha particles. The higher the alpha concentration, the higher the hydrogen concentration.

The terms "ideal gas" and "perfect gas" are used in technical literature to describe a hypothetical gas which would follow a characteristic equation under all conditions; that is, pv=rt, where p=the absolute pressure, v=specific volume, r=constant for the specific gas, and t=absolute temperature.
Industry:Energy
A control other than a safety control or interlock, to start or regulate burner firing according to load demand and to stop or regulate fire on satisfaction of demand or upon reaching normal temperature or pressure in the device being fired. Operating controls may also actuate auxiliary equipment.

A comprehensive energy statute comprised of five separate but intertwined public laws dealing with energy conservation (The National Energy Conservation Policy Act, P.L. 95-619); coal conversion (The Powerplant and Industrial Fuel Use Act, P.L. 95-620); public utility rates (The Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act, P.L. 95-617); natural gas pricing (The Natural Gas Policy Act, P.L. 95-621); and a series of taxes (Energy Tax Act, P.L. 95-618) designed to discourage energy consumption and to accelerate the transition to alternative fuels. The five bills were signed into law on November 9, 1978. The main purpose of the NEA is to reduce oil imports and promote more efficient use of energy in this country.
