文章中有效数字讨论
最近有篇文章审稿人提了一个问题:“Values with up to five (5) significant digits are presented for experimental superficial gas velocity. It is unlikely that measurements are that accurate. I contend that realistic values should have no more than three (3) significant digits. The same comment is applicable to Table 1 and anywhere else numerical values are provided.”
我原文这里的数字是这样的:“To make the bed operate in the bubbling regime, the superficial gas velocity was controlled between 1.166 cm/s and 12.831 cm/s with a step of 1.166 cm/s.”
如果保留三位有效数字就成了1.17 12.8 1.17,这样有效数字是统一了,但是我觉得是不是应该是小数点后保持一致啊?比如1.17 12.83 1.17。
谢谢!

12.8可以写成1.28E+1。
似乎不妥,这些数字都在1-100的数量级,我觉得没必要用科学计数法
,
老外不喜欢保留很多位小数的。
按照惯例,最多保留小数点后两位
谢谢,我初步决定就保留三位有效数字,不统一小数点了。
