'''LIST OF GALLERY SUBPAGES:'''


The only difference between the the metric units version and the U.S. customary units version is in these terms:
*[[Air pollution emissions/Gallery]]
 
*[[Conventional coal-fired power plant/Gallery|Power plants/Gallery]]
Metric: &nbsp; '''Q = A ( <i>p</i> P )<sup>1/2</sup>'''
*[[Chemical plant/Gallery]]
 
*[[Flare stack/Gallery]]
U.S.: &nbsp; '''Q = A ( g<sub>c</sub> <i>p</i> P)<sup>1/2</sup>'''
*[[Petrochemicals/Gallery]]
 
*[[Petroleum crude oil/Gallery]]
All of the other terms are dimensionless.
*[[Petroleum refining processes/Gallery]]
 
*[[Process Safety Management (United States)/Gallery]]
'''Metric units:''' 
*[[Smog/Gallery]]
 
*[[Los Alamos National Laboratory/Gallery|Nuclear weapons tests]]
Q = m<sup>2</sup> [ kg/m<sup>3</sup> • kg/(m•s<sup>2</sup>) ]<sup>1/2</sup> = m<sup>2</sup> [ kg<sup>2</sup>/( m<sup>4</sup>•s<sup>2</sup>) ]<sup>1/2</sup> = kg/s &nbsp; &nbsp; Note that P = Pascal = kg/(m•s<sup>2</sup>)
*[[Apollo program/Gallery|Apollo missions photos]]
 
'''U.S. units:'''
 
Q = ft<sup>2</sup> [ ft/s<sup>2</sup> • lb/ft<sup>3</sup> • lb/ft<sup>2</sup> ]<sup>1/2</sup> = ft<sup>2</sup> [ lb<sup>2</sup>/(s<sup>2</sup> • ft<sup>4</sup> ]<sup>1/2</sup> = lb/s
