creating three column nomenclature is hard, help me out
1 Answers
Although this is really not a page to let others do your work, I'll help you out. I'm sure you can complete the table yourself. You can also have a look at this question if you dislike my approach.
I'd simply use a standard tabular for this, together with the booktabs package for good-looking tables and the siunitx package for correct typesetting of SI units.
Note that if a subscript is not a mathematical object (index, counter, ...), but has a "normal language meaning" (like "o" for "oxygen", "max" for "maximum", ...) you should set it upright (a_\mathrm{b}).
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{siunitx,booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[htbp]
\centering
\caption{Nomenclature.}
\label{tab:my_label}
\begin{tabular}{lll}
\toprule
\textbf{Symbol} & \textbf{Description} & \textbf{Unit} \ \midrule
$D$ & Diffusion coefficient in the Biofilm phase & \unit{\meter\squared\per\second} \
$D_o$ & Diffusion coefficient in the Gas phase & \unit{\meter\squared\per\second} \
\ldots & \ldots & \ldots \ \bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}
Edit
Apparently in newer versions of siunitx one is supposed to use \unit instead of \si (see here), so I changed the code accordingly.

\usepackage{nomencl} \makenomenclature
\begin{document}
\nomenclature{$a$}{The number of angels per unit area}% \nomenclature{$N$}{The number of angels per needle point}% \nomenclature{$A$}{The area of the needle point}%
\nomenclature{$\sigma$}{The total mass of angels per unit area}% \nomenclature{$m$}{The mass of one angel}
\end{document}
