Zone Refining Of Anthracene, Charles Poultney Perot Jun 1957

Zone Refining Of Anthracene, Charles Poultney Perot

Theses

The process of zone refining involves the passage of a molten zone along a rod of solid. As the zone progresses, composition of the material freezing out generally differs from that melting, so solutes are redistributed. Enrichment of the major component occurs toward one end of the rod. (Usually the end of frozen.)

In the present work, impure anthracene was subjected to zone refining. Feed first run was C.P. anthracene with a known impurity of 2.0% phenanthrene. After two passes no phenanthren was detectable in the first layer frozen. (Analysis was by ultra-violet spectrophotometry.) Although the zones melted out were …


Vapor-Liquid Equilibria, Vincent De Paul Brown Jun 1957

Vapor-Liquid Equilibria, Vincent De Paul Brown

Theses

The thesis was undertaken for the purpose of testing available experimental vapor-liquid equilibrium data for thermodynamic consistency, with a view to finding an intercorrelation of the activity coefficient-concentration curves, for different groups of systems, as a function of the intercepts. It was hoped that a correlation using molar volumes, parachor volumes, or molecular weights would be developed which could be explained on the basis of hydrogen bonding.

The Redlich and Kister1 equations were used to smooth the experimental data and to obtain values for the constants B, C and D. Redlich and Kister state that these constants serve as …

Artificial Rhodonite: It's Synthesis And X-Ray Diffraction Powder Pattern, Frank E. Jeniker May 1957

Artificial Rhodonite: It's Synthesis And X-Ray Diffraction Powder Pattern, Frank E. Jeniker

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This report presents the investigation of three methods of synthesizing artificial rhodonite; fusion of silica and manganese dioxide, prolonged sintering of the compact of manganous carbonate and silica at below liquidus temperatures, and the precipitation by reaction of salts in an aqueous solution followed by sintering. In each case the rhodonitic product was of less than desired purity, containing varying amounts of silica, tephroite, and higher valence oxidized manganese forms, as well as aluminum.

Servomechanism Compensation With An Active Phase-Lead Network, Robert T. Dewoody Jan 1957

Servomechanism Compensation With An Active Phase-Lead Network, Robert T. Dewoody

Masters Theses

"The problem is to develop a phase-lead compensation network for a servomechanism which will not reduce the low-frequency gain and thus decrease the velocity-lag error. The principal part of this thesis deals with the design of such an active phase-lead network. The active network does not have d-c coupling; this eliminates drift problems.

To illustrate an active phase-lead network a simple second order servomechanism is used as a basis for comparing three methods of compensation.

The first method is compensation with a conventional phase-lead network with a gain decrease. The second method is compensation with a conventional phase-lead network with …


Temperature Stabilized Transistor Direct Current Amplifier, William Lewis Metcalf Jr. Jan 1957

Temperature Stabilized Transistor Direct Current Amplifier, William Lewis Metcalf Jr.

Masters Theses

"A stable direct current transistor amplifier is difficult to design for use at elevated temperatures. The above is true since transistor parameters and bias conditions are affected by temperature. When transistors are incorporated in direct coupled amplifier circuits, these variations in parameters and bias conditions usually result in unstable operation. It is the purpose of this thesis to investigate this problem and to design a stable direct current transistor amplifier which will operate satisfactorily at elevated temperatures.

This problem is of importance as such direct current amplifier circuits are found in airborne or missile servo systems. In such systems the …


A Simplified Mathematical Method For Petroleum Property Evaluation, Charles G. Edwards Jan 1957

A Simplified Mathematical Method For Petroleum Property Evaluation, Charles G. Edwards

Masters Theses

"The economic evaluation of a petroleum reservoir involves two fundamental operations; 1) predicting future production behaviour, 2) determining the present worth or this future production. This thesis purposes to eliminate the necessity of repeated calculation which is required in performing the second operation under existing methods.

Because the first operation, that of predicting future behaviour, is necessarily an estimate, there is an apparent tendency to employ approximate methods in the determination of present worth. The evaluation method developed in this paper confines estimation to the first operation, where it rightly belongs, and treats all subsequent work with mathematical exactness.The estimation …


Statistical Analysis Of X-40 (Stellite-31) Production Blends., Edward P. Patterson Jan 1957

Statistical Analysis Of X-40 (Stellite-31) Production Blends., Edward P. Patterson

Masters Theses

"An investigation was undertaken to statistically analyze the data obtained on X-40 (Stellite 31) production blends which were tested to the requirements of AMS 5382. For our purpose a blend is one or more furnace heats, the shot of which has been thoroughly mixed to produce greater uniformity of product. The mixed shot is charged to the arc furnaces and cast into parts, and test specimens. A great range of test results have been obtained in testing blends, and it was felt that a statistical analysis of a few of the variables might yield information which could be applied toward …
