Graphical Representation Of Compressed Air Formulae, John Thomas Vitt, Paul Andrew Philippi

Bachelors Theses

"Air during compression and expansion obeys the same laws as do other gases and these laws have been mathematically stated by purely rational formulae. Most of these formulae are logarithmic and their use involves a considerable amount of work. The object of this thesis is to present these formulae in such form that problems involving their use may be readily and easily solved. It was decided to present them graphically and the accompanying curves are the results of our labors"--page 1.

Meridian-Projecting Instruments And Methods, Albert Babbitt Bartlett

Bachelors Theses

"The writer's attention was called to the necessity of knowing the accuracy attainable in surveying which must depend upon the Meridian, and therefore be subject to the accuracy of it, in seeking information by which to decide what would be the most desirable transit to use in the West, particularly for United States Deputy Mineral Surveying. Descriptions of the manipulation, adjustments, and the cost, etc., of the various appliances are plentiful in the text-books on surveying and in the various catalogues; but there was no very definite information in regard to the actual probable and average accuracy, especially in the …

Copper Matting Blast Furnace Run, John Vivian Stevens, Frank Bowman Powell, John Dozier Shanks

Bachelors Theses

"The theory of the copper blast furnace run having been given us in the class room, we wishing to familiarize ourselves with the practical processes and the difficulties involved, selected it as the basis of an investigation of which the following is a correct report. The original ore was a high grade copper sulphide from the Ducktown, Tenn. district to which was added some heavy pyritic ore from various quarters. The latter was added to furnish the iron oxide necessary as a flux in the blast furnace and sulphur in sufficient amount to make the ore self roasting when charged …

The Reaction Velocity Of Ethylene And Iodine, Herbert Arno Roesler

Professional Degree Theses

"The constituents of coal or enriched water gas which give it value as a light producer are known collectively as "illuminants". They consist essentially of ethylene and propylene and in the analysis are determined by means of fuming sulphuric acid. This method of determination is very unsatisfactory as it is impossible to ascertain the relative percentages of the two gases, only the total being found. A series of experiments were made, for the purpose of finding a reagent that could be used for separating the members of the illuminating group and while thus engaged, a solution of iodine in potassium …

This property is located at Cananea, District of Arizpe, sonora, Mexico, and is owned and controlled by the cananea Consolidated Copper Co. S.A. It is situated upon the northeast slope of a short range of mountains from which the town of Cananea derives its name. The port of entry for this part of …

An Investigation Of The Chemical And Metallurgical Treatment Of A Cobalt And Nickel Ore, James Watts Caples

Bachelors Theses

"The ore, coming from a district located one hundred and fifteen miles from the nearest railroad point, in a mountainous country, barren of coal, and where freight rates were enormous; demanded a method of treatment not now in general use upon this class of ores, and one that would require as little freight haulage either way, as possible. With these object in view, the following work was done, after reading all the data obtainable upon the subject as found in the school library"--Introductory, page 1.

Report Of Coal Prospect, And Subsequent Development, John Adrian Garcia

Professional Degree Theses

"In the fall of 1901, the writer was engaged by the Republic Coal Mining Company of Aurora Springs, Miller County, Missouri, as Engineer in charge of operations connected with the opening up of their coal mine. The data in this report was never submitted to the owners of the property, because of a request from them that the work of opening up be pushed as rapidly as possible, and [the] mine be put in condition to ship coal; and because the data embraced facts already known to the management, who were determined to open the property regardless of the evidence …

Aluminum As A Commercial Conductor Of Electric Energy, George Edwin Lyman, Edward J. Morris

Bachelors Theses

"In considering the adaptability of any metal to serve as a distributing agent of electrical energy, the investigation must shape itself along three lines, viz, - the electrical, the physical and the chemical properties which the metal may possess. Evidently a deficiency in any of these properties, if serious, will debar it from successfully coping in the market with its competitors. A metal may have excellent conductivity and its behavior electrically may be thoroughly satisfactory, but if it lacks strength, physically, or ability to resist the destructive forces of the atmosphere, chemically, it is obviously inadaquate sic to serve as …

The Sinking Of Piers On Red River Bridge On Kansas City Southern Ry., Albert Spengler

Bachelors Theses

"In September, 1899, began the work on the construction of the substructure for the Red River Bridge for the Kansas City Southern Railway at Index, Texas, ten miles north of Texarkana, Texas. The new substructure was located about one hundred feet up stream from the old one, consequently it was not necessary to maintain traffic during construction. The object of the new bridge was to replace a much lighter one, which was too light for the increased weight of rolling stock of the railroad company. The substructure consists of seven piers, including a pivot pier, and two abutments. The seven …

Assay Of Copper Matte For Gold And Silver, Walter E. Soest

Bachelors Theses

"Ores containing copper, and especially copper matte, have always been very annoying in assaying for the precious metals. In assaying copper matte, and ores containing much copper, by the usual method of scorification, the losses of silver an gold are considerable, owing to the fact that in order to obtain lead buttons, which are soft and free from copper, repeated scorifications are necessary, and moreover it is impossible to obtain lead buttons which are entirely free from copper"--page 1.

The Strength Of Cement Under Different Conditions, Francis Joseph Tayman

We find a great deal of experimental work done in Cement testing, also some curves plotted, but there are but few equations fitted to these curves, this, then, is the object of the present work. In this work a great many interesting points have been made manifest, most of them are of no practical value but merely of interest in themselves. The work has been on several of the most important ones, to be given subsequently. On these and a few others …

The Electrolysis Of The Water Of A Copper Sulphate Solution, Ralph Barker

Bachelors Theses

"The idea prevails generally, that when an electric current is passed through a copper sulphate solution, the water will be electrolysed sic when the difference of potential between the electrodes reaches about one and one-half volts. The object of the experiments detailed below was to determine whether or not the density of the solution has any effect on the electrolysis of the water, and if any such existed, to find out if there was any relation between them"--page 1.

Derivation Of Some Empirical Formulae, Showing Relation Between Breaking Strength And Various Functions Which Enter Into Cement Testing, Arthur D. Terrell

Bachelors Theses

"Although we find a great many results of experimental work in cement testing, and some curves plotted, there seems to have been very little attempt made toward fitting equations to these curves. This then leaves an opening for original investigation. During my experiments quite a variety of interesting points have been made manifest. Most of them are of no practical benefit, but merely of interest in themselves. My work has been on a few of the most important ones, which will be given subsequently"--page 1.
