		The three dimensional coordinate system is provides the physical dimensions of space — height, width, and length, and this is often referred to as "the three dimensions".
		In analytic geometry the Cartesian coordinate system is the foundation for the algebraic manipulation of geometrical shapes.

		Cartesian coordinates, and require nothing more than simple Euclidean geometry (I've always had the impression that this engineer was either lousy with math or just plane lazy, but I'm probably being unfair).
		In its modern form, the state plane coordinate system covers all 50 of the United States, but it does not extend beyond the borders of the U.S. The system is designed to have a maximum linear error of 1 in 10,000.
		UTM system, whose maximum linear error is 1 in 2,500, which, when you multiply both sides by four, translates into a maximum error of 4 in 10,000.

		The three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate is defined by three axes at right angles to each other, forming a three dimensional space.
		The point of intersection, where the axes meet, is called the origin, which is normally labeled O. To specify a particular point on a three dimensional coordinate system, you indicate the particular values on the axes in the form [x,y,z].
		Two points in the 3D cartesian coordinate system.

	The Coordinate System
		A Cartesian coordinate system has three axes, X, Y, and Z. When you enter coordinate values, you indicate a point's distance (in units) and its direction (+ or -) along the X, Y, and Z axes relative to the coordinate system origin (0,0,0).
		For example, the coordinate 3,4 specifies a point 3 units along the X axis and 4 units along the Y axis from the origin.
		To specify a relative coordinate, precede the coordinate with an @ symbol.

		Polar Coordinates: A polar coordinate is similar to a relative coordinate since it is positioned with respect to the current access location.
		The Cartesian coordinate system is a rectangular coordinate system that locates a point by its distances from intersecting, perpendicular planes.
		That means that each point is referenced to the origin of the coordinate system and not the values of the points around it.

		The most common coordinate system for representing positions in space is one based on three perpendicular spatial axes generally designated x, y, and z.

	Coordinate Systems
		The numbers assigned to a position, or point, are called the coordinates of that point (in the coordinate system under consideration).
		In physical laboratories, and sometimes for everyday purpose, it is convenient to use cartesian coordinates, i.e., just length, width and height measured from a reference point (the origin of the system) in three mutually othogonal (or perpendicular) directions, i.e., three straight lines called axes of the coordinate system, which have mutually right angles between them.
		Each coordinate system is now uniquely determined by its origin, either its polar axis or the equatorial plane (the other is always perpendicular and thus given by the one), and the reference direction.

		As metallurgical reactor vessels involves both rectangular and cylindrical geometries, 3 D model for Cartesian coordinate system as well as cylindrical coordinate system are required to predict fluid flow in different metallurgical systems theoretically.
		This model was then synthesized with similar model developed by C. Vanu [301 for Cartesian coordinate system and a generalized computer procedure was developed to predict fluid flow in various metal processing operations.
		This model was then synthesized with the model in the Cartesian coordinate system [30] to develop a generalized mathematical framework for the analysis of flow in metallurgical reactors.
