The Effect Of Hydrogen Overvoltage On The Electrolytic Deposition Of Zinc, John M. Munzenrider, Kenneth O. Sweeney May 1932

The Effect Of Hydrogen Overvoltage On The Electrolytic Deposition Of Zinc, John M. Munzenrider, Kenneth O. Sweeney

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In the deposition of metallic zinc by electro­lysis from neutral or acid solution, little difficulty is experienced provided certain impurities are absent from the electrolyte. The use of the process has long been considered as a potential source, patents on the process having been issued as early as 1880. However, the early experimenters failed to realize the importance of impurities in the electrolyte, and for this reason, the process suffered several severe setbacks when commercial plants were built.

Fundamentals Of Bridge Design, Albert C. Kalmbach May 1932

Fundamentals Of Bridge Design, Albert C. Kalmbach

Bachelors’ Theses

Man's earliest communication followed: water routes. Our prehistoric ancestors, evidence shows, fashioned boats and rafts which enabled them to travel along the rivers, and later to sail the seas. Following history through the years we will find man always developing theater routes for transportation before other methods. The early colonies in our America were along the coastal rivers; the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys were first settled in the interior.

A Relationship Between The Mole Fractions And The Absolute Viscosities Of Blended Lubricating Oils, Ernest Reginald Epperson Jan 1932

A Relationship Between The Mole Fractions And The Absolute Viscosities Of Blended Lubricating Oils, Ernest Reginald Epperson

Masters Theses

"The viscosity of binary liquid mixtures has been a subject of much investigation, but most of the work has been done with mixtures of substances other than lubricating oils. Lubricating engineers have found viscosity to be the most important property of a good lubricant, though up to the present time no one has succeeded in deducing a satisfactory expression by which the viscosity of a blended lubricant may be calculated from a knowledge of the physical properties of its components. This investigation has been an attempt to find a relationship between the absolute viscosity of a blended lubricating oil and …

Die Steels And The Heat-Treatment Of Dies For Use In Die Casting Aluminum Base Alloys, Elmer Gammeter Jan 1932

Die Steels And The Heat-Treatment Of Dies For Use In Die Casting Aluminum Base Alloys, Elmer Gammeter

Professional Degree Theses

"Although the casting of metals is an ancient art, it was not until recent years that metals were cast in large quantities in metallic molds. The increasing demands on the industry for greater production brought about this change which essentially involves the introduction of molds capable of producing numerous castings in preference to the use of non-metallic molds which were destroyed in making the casting"--General Consideration of the Die Casting Process, page 1.

The Public Health Engineer's Part On A Health Program, Walter Eric Casey Jan 1932

The Public Health Engineer's Part On A Health Program, Walter Eric Casey

Professional Degree Theses

"In this work the Public Health Engineer should not be confused with the Sanitary Engineer as the term is commonly used today. The Sanitary Engineer is primarily a designer or builder. He is, in fact, a civil and hydraulic engineer specializing in a rather restricted field, confined for the most part to works relating to municipal water supply and sewage. The Public Health Engineer on the other hand is primarily a student and worker in the field of public health. The range of his activities is wider, and his training and knowledge are of essentially different character. It is not …

Preliminary Construction Of A Photo-Electric Cell Concentrator, Stanley S. Williams Jun 1931

Preliminary Construction Of A Photo-Electric Cell Concentrator, Stanley S. Williams

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The separation of the valuable portion from the waste portion of an ore is an individual problem for every ore. However, the various methods for accomplishing this end, more or less classify themselves by the physical properties of the constituents of the ore. Most of the properties of minerals have been utilized in some way or other to affect the separation of the valuable from the invaluable parts. Practically nothing has been done so far with color and luster to attain this purpose.

It is believed that the photo—electric cell could also be used in concentrating a certain class of …


A Study Of The Plating Prohibitive Properties Of Various Separators, Bruno J. Pozorski May 1931

A Study Of The Plating Prohibitive Properties Of Various Separators, Bruno J. Pozorski

Bachelors’ Theses

The problem of this thesis is to study the plating prohibitive properties of the various materials commonly used in the manufacturing of separators, and to indicate which material would be most serviceable and feasible in a separator. At one time positives and negatives were kept not more than 0.25 inches apart, with the idea of reducing the intervening layers of electrolyte, and, therefore, the internal resistance of the cell, as much as possible. It was, however, found that the output could actually be increased by putting the plates at greater distances, the fact being that the larger bulk of solution …

Geological Survey in the publication of monographs on the National Parks, papers of great popular interest and educational value making these beautiful regions comprehensible in their …


Age Relationships Of Ore Deposits Of Southwestern Montana (A Microscopic Study), Charles R. Trueworthy Jan 1931

Age Relationships Of Ore Deposits Of Southwestern Montana (A Microscopic Study), Charles R. Trueworthy

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Although considerable work has been undertaken by some prominent geologists, the best known of which is that of Paul Billingsley and J. A. Grimes', in investigating the ore deposits of the Boulder Batholith and surrounding area, there has not been any complete microscopic investigation of these deposits, as a whole, published in the literature. With this in mind it was suggested to the writer by Professor Paul A. Schafer, of the Montana School of Mines, that a microscopic study of the ores of this region would be a worthwhile geologic problem.

It was thought that the mineral association and the …

A Preliminary Study Of The Separation Of The Copper Sulfides From Sphalerite And The Effect Of Certain Reagents On Some Of The Pure Copper Minerals In Synthetic Mixtures, Gailen T. Vandel

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The problem of separating the copper sulfide minerals from sphalerite, in copper - zinc ores, has been a difficult one. This is largely due to the lack of adequate research and the small amount of data obtainable on the behavior of copper and zinc sulfide minerals in flotation circuits.
