A Discussion Of The Geology And An Isopach Map Of The Pennsylvanian System In Wyoming And Adjacent Areas, B. R. Alto May 1948

A Discussion Of The Geology And An Isopach Map Of The Pennsylvanian System In Wyoming And Adjacent Areas, B. R. Alto

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Pennsylvanian strata in Wyoming and adjacent areas have been the subject of much work and discussion. Most of the work has been due to the economic importance of the system as an oil producer in this region. Oil production from strata of Pennsylvanian age is rather recent history; and therefore, much of the available information is local­ized and incomplete.

Roasting And Leaching Of Montana Chromite, Jerry D. Murphy May 1948

Roasting And Leaching Of Montana Chromite, Jerry D. Murphy

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The United States, although the leading consumer of chromite, depends almost entirely on imports for its supply. Domestic production of chromite is limited, because high-grade imported ore is plentiful and inexpensive in normal times. There are several large deposits of chromite in the United States, representing millions of tons of low grade ore. These deposits form a strategic reserve that must be used in time of national emergency.

A Study Of The Action Of Various Energizers In The Carburization Of Steel, William N. Warren May 1948

A Study Of The Action Of Various Energizers In The Carburization Of Steel, William N. Warren

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The object of casehardening is to produce articles of steel having a tough or ductile interior and a hard sur­face. Quenching produces a surface somewhat harder than the interior, but in order to obtain a high surface hard­ness, the percentage of alloying elements in the steel must be raised to such an extent that the core or central por­tion becomes hard and brittle also.

A Study Of The Diffusion Of Electroplated Coatings In The Solid State., Michael R. Writt May 1948

A Study Of The Diffusion Of Electroplated Coatings In The Solid State., Michael R. Writt

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The term diffusion means an equalization or homogenization of diverse materials. Specifically ap­plied to metals, diffusion is the interchange of atoms. It is, in effect, an invasion of one crystal lattice by the atoms of one or more other crystal lattices. Therefore, the study of diffusion must involve the geometry and physics of crystal lattices as well as their energies.

Leaching Of Low Grade Rhodochrosite, E. D. King May 1948

Leaching Of Low Grade Rhodochrosite, E. D. King

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Although there are many uses for manganese today, none of them approaches its importance as a deoxidizing agent in the manufac­ture of steels. Without manganese the steelmaking in­dustry would be very seriously handicapped. The metal­lurgy of manganese has been developed around the high-grade ores, and unfortunately, our reserves of high-grade ores are very limited.

A Study Of Land Drainage By Pumping From An Experimental Drainage Well In The Delta Area, Utah, Ellaf Arni Olafson May 1948

A Study Of Land Drainage By Pumping From An Experimental Drainage Well In The Delta Area, Utah, Ellaf Arni Olafson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Although it is now generally accepted that, in the west, irrigation and drainage are necessarily complementary practices, the realization has been slow in developing. Recent estimates indicate that about 8 million acres of land under irrigation in the 17 western states require drainage. For most irrigated lands a depth to groundwater of at least five to ten feet is desirable. Very high capital as well as annual maintenance costs would be involved in meeting this minimum requirement with the usual types of tile and open drains. Indeed, in most instances it cannot economically be accomplished. The purpose of this study …

An Investigation Of The Anodic Oxidation Of Aluminum In A Sulfuric Acid Electrolyte, William D. Michaely Apr 1948

An Investigation Of The Anodic Oxidation Of Aluminum In A Sulfuric Acid Electrolyte, William D. Michaely

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

When aluminum is allowed to stand in air or is heated in air, a thin oxide film is produced on the metal. If aluminum is made the anode in a suitable electrolyte and a current applied, a coating is obtained which is similar to that produced in air, but may be effected much quicker. This film is thicker, harder, more resistant to corrosion and abrasion, and more adhesive than the natural oxide. The film is porous and makes an excellent adsorptive for dyes and pigments.

Design Of A Radio Broadcasting Station, John William Hamman Jan 1948

Design Of A Radio Broadcasting Station, John William Hamman

Masters Theses

"In the design of any piece of equipment, before any work whatsoever is done, a reason for developing the object must be apparent to all concerned. Any expenditure of time, labor and money must be properly justified before action can be taken. In the case of this paper, then, the reason for designing a broadcast radio station for the Missouri School of Mines & Metallurgy at Rolla, Missouri is twofold: First, to provide an additional instrument whereby instruction may be given to students interested in the study of radio; second, to supply the residents of Rolla and vicinity with entertainment …
