An Attempt To Increase The Permeability And Porosity Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand By Treatment With Various Reagents, Donald H. Johnson May 1943

An Attempt To Increase The Permeability And Porosity Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand By Treatment With Various Reagents, Donald H. Johnson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The purpose of this investigation was to attempt to find some means of increasing the effective porosity and permeabil­ity of the producing sands of the Cut Bank Oil Field, with the hope that thereby the ultimate recovery of petroleum from this field may be increased. Although the percentage increase in production thus effected would undoubtedly be small, it would represent a substantial volume of petroleum in view of the great quantity of oil and gas present in this field.

A Suggested Method For The Measurement Of Unsaturation In Organic Compounds By Means Of A Hydrogen Number, Richard Roberts May 1943

A Suggested Method For The Measurement Of Unsaturation In Organic Compounds By Means Of A Hydrogen Number, Richard Roberts

Bachelors’ Theses

The measurement of unsaturation in organic compounds are commonly expressed in terms of an iodine number, but as this value is not trustworthy in a number of cases, it has been suggested by earlier worker that an indication of unsaturation could be obtained by the quantitative hydrogenation of a compound and expressing the result in terms of a hydrogen number. Although such determinations have been previously made, usually at elevated temperatures and pressures, it is the purpose of this work to carry out the hydrogenation at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. For purposes of comparison, determinations will be made at …


A Viscometric Determination Of The Diastatic Effect Of Amylase On Starches, Dawn Marie Ehlert May 1943

A Viscometric Determination Of The Diastatic Effect Of Amylase On Starches, Dawn Marie Ehlert

Bachelors’ Theses

Internal friction causes some liquids to flow with less freedom than true solutions of the same density. or with less freedom than water. This is attributed in part to larger particle size and prompts one to propose that when using solutions in which the dissolved substance has not been dispersed and subdivided to single molecular particles that the dissolved particles may be present as com­binations. These combinations may increase to enlarged dimensions with changes in temperature, density. electric charges. etc. Similar conditions are characteristic o starch solutions. The solutions are colloidal and vary in particle size. In some situations the …


A Study Of Certain Substitution Groups, Merle Mitchell Apr 1943

A Study Of Certain Substitution Groups, Merle Mitchell

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

This thesis purposes to study a certain group of movements which can be expressed as substitutions. The groups of movements which send a square into itself is to be studied as a group of eight substitutions on the vertices for the purpose of leading up to the real problem of this paper. From the octic group, it is natural to proceed to a study of the movements which send a cube into itself. In particular, it is the aim of this thesis to discover the group of the cube and to analyze some of its properties. There are twenty-eight rotations …


Permeability And Porosity Studies Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand, Wesley Edward Davis Apr 1943

Permeability And Porosity Studies Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand, Wesley Edward Davis

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In studying the Cut Bank field and its numerous wells, it is found that dry holes are surrounded by producing wells, and also that the field as a whole is very irregular; water, oil, and gas zones in many cases following no definite pattern. In some instances, this phenomenon may be due to the lensing and thinning of the producing sands, but it is evident that this is not the only factor. There­fore, the controlling factors must be porosity and permeability.


Coal In Montana, Clifford A. Barkell Apr 1943

Coal In Montana, Clifford A. Barkell

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Coal was first mined in Montana in the year 1880. For the last thirty years the mining of coal in this state has been very important-with few people realizing its value. In the mineral industry, the value of the annual production of coal is exceeded by none of the non-metallics, and only by gold, silver, and copper in the metallics. At the present time the coal production of Montana is valued at about 41000,000.00 annually.

Polyhydroxyamines, John Wotiz Jan 1943

Polyhydroxyamines, John Wotiz

Master's Theses

"The industrial growth of aliphatic chemistry, which has constituted one of the outstanding advances of recent years, has been almost entirely in the field of hydrocarbons and their simpler chlorine and oxygen derivatives… Representative of the aliphatic amines, possibly only the methyl, amyl and ethanol amines may be said to have been commercially available. And yet the field of aliphatic nitrogen chemistry possesses the greatest variety of known aliphatic compounds; there are at least several nitrogen analogs of each oxygen compound, often more stable, more definitely characterized, and more reactive chemically." Relatively few aminoalcohols, especially polyhydroxyaminoalcohols have been prepared. Due …

The Effect Of The Ph On The Viscosity Of Various Gelatin Solutions, Theodore C. Kraus Aug 1942

The Effect Of The Ph On The Viscosity Of Various Gelatin Solutions, Theodore C. Kraus

Bachelors’ Theses

Tremendous research has been done in recent years In the field of the protein colloids. Our small, but nevertheless important knowledge of the protein colloids is due to such eminent investigators as Loeb, Kruyt, Freundlich, and Hardy, to name only a few. They have presented to the scientific world valuable experiments and reports of their work. However, much remains to be accomplished in spite of their achievements. The fact that the whole of the organic life processes concerns Itself with colloidal phenomena, particularly the reactions of large aggregates of protein particles, is indicative that the field is widespread in its …
