Steric Hindrance In The Ketonic Splitting Of Substituted Acetoacetic Ester, Claude Stanley Abshier

Masters Theses

"The phenomenon of steric hindrance has been observed and investigated in a variety of reactions, most of which have been with aromatic compounds. In this branch of study the speeds of reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, α-mono-methyl-ethyl-acetoacetate, α-mono-ethyl-ethyl-acetoacetate, α-mono-propyl-ethyl-acetoacetate in the presence of 0.05 and 0.10 normal hydrochloric acids have been investigated at temperatures between 60⁰C. and 90⁰C. An attempt has been made to explain the results obtained"--Introduction, page 1.

The Preparation And Specific Gravity Of Pure Formic Acid And Its Aqueous Solutions, Leo Henry Merchie

Masters Theses

"Formic acid, the lowest member of the fatty acid series, was obtained as early as the seventeenth century by distilling ants with water. Other methods were later found after the correct constitution of the acid became known. This acid is not difficult to prepare in a water solution, but it is difficult to obtain in the anhydrous state...The purpose of this work is to study the various methods of preparing anhydrous formic acid, to improve a method for preparing the anhydrous acid, and to correct specific gravity tables for aqueous solutions of formic acid"--Introduction, page 1-2.

A Study Of The Evaporation Of Organic Liquids And Mixtures Of Organic Liquids, George Walter Eckert

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this thesis is to make a study of the evaporation of organic solvents. The relative rates of evaporation of the single substances and binary and ternary mixtures are to be considered. A study of the changes in composition of binary and ternary mixtures that occur on evaporation are to be made. Information on the evaporation of organic liquids is important in relation to lacquers, and for that reason the solvents used in this work are liquids commonly used in making lacquers"--Introduction, page 2.

The Relation Between The Mean Molecular Weight And The Absolute Viscosity Of Lubricating Oils, John Isler Moore

Masters Theses

"Of all the properties required of a good lubricant the most important is that of the viscosity at the temperature of its use. Most lubricants consist of oils blended or compounded together in such a way as to produce an oil of a desired viscosity, falling in the special group of viscosities expressed by the Society of Automotive Engineers in their tabulations.

There have been several methods developed to enable the refiner to blend quickly and efficiently although Bell stated that the methods were largely that of trial and error. Herschel formed a chart for blending by the logarithmic rule …

A Study Of Methods For Separating The Elements That Interfere In The Electrolytic Deposition Of Lead As Lead Oxide, John Shaw Sabine

Masters Theses

"The electrolytic determination of lead as lead dioxide is a very desirable method, due to its simplicity, accuracy, and the small amount of the analyst's time required. The electrolytic method functions when both large and small amounts of lead are present. The method depends upon the fact that from a nitric acid solution the lead is plated upon the anode as lead dioxide; from the lead dioxide deposit the percentage of lead may be calculated.

An electrolytic method, for determining the lead in samples containing from 5 to 150 mg. of lead, was described in a paper by Schrenk and …

A Method For Increasing The Iodine Value Of The Saturated Fatty Acids, Richard Groves Holmes

Masters Theses

"The work covered by this thesis was undertaken with the idea of finding a method whereby unsaturated oils, of the drying type (those having iodine values of one hundred fifty or above), could be made from the saturated fatty acids. After an exhaustive search of the literature no evidence was found that this means of producing the unsaturated acids had ever been developed. Work has been done on the chlorination products of the fatty acids, the processes being covered by patents. No evidence however was given as to the possible structure of these compounds"--Introduction, page 1.

The Development Of The Arthurian Story In English And American Literature From 1800 To The Present Time, Lucy Willeford Mcmahan

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this essay is to show the development of the Arthurian story in the creative literature of the English language from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present with reference to: (1) the relation of the author's treatment of the subject to the spirit of the age, (2) the relation of the author's treatment to the treatment of the subject in his source and, (3) the relation of the author's treatment to his characteristic treatment of other subjects"--Introduction, page 3.

A Comparative Study Of The American Society For Testing Materials Spall Test And The Federal Specifications Spall Test, Justus Jordan Beinlich

Bachelors Theses

"Commercial brands of fireclay brick will be tested with both the American Society for Testing Materials and the Federal Specifications Spall Tests in order to determine whether the two tests are consistent in the indication of resistance to spalling. It is suggested that the properties of a refractory affecting thermal spalling are reversible thermal expansion, elasticity, heat transfer, plastic flow, and strength. It is hoped that it will be possible to explain the discrepancies that may arise in the results of this work in terms of the above physical properties or else find a reasonable agreement between the two tests"--Introduction, …

The Effect Of Reheating Certain Fire Brick On Pyrometric Cone Equivalents, Francis J. Louney

Bachelors Theses

"In a recent survey of the refractories field, especially with respect to the softening point of fire brick, it was suggested to the author that the possibility of reheating certain fire brick, according to the specifications given by the American Society for Testing Materials, might produce a difference in pyrometric cone equivalent from that of the original or unreheated sample. At present, there is considerable lack of knowledge regarding the problem, as evidenced by the utter lack of literature on the softening point resulting from the reheating of fire brick"--Introduction, leaf 1.

The Replacement Of Calcium Carbonate With Calcium Chloride And Calcium Fluoride In A Whiteware Body, Charles Richard Rosenbaum

Bachelors Theses

"In the steel industry it is a common metallurgical practice to add fluospar sic (CaF₂), to a slag to render it more fluid. Ladoo states that the fluospar sic , thus added, forms eutechtics with the silica, alumina, calcium and barium sulfates, rendering them more fusible. The fluospar sic does not decompose, but forms solutions or eutechtics with other substances in the slag. He further states that calcium chloride (CaCl₂) has been used for this purpose but is apparently not as active, necessitating larger quantities per charge. It is also probably more expensive. Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) is commonly used as …

Aventurine Glazes, Felix Fraulini

Bachelors Theses

"The object of this study was to notice the effect produced upon the crystalline growth in the glaze by the variation of B₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, and SiO₂, and to notice the effect of cooling upon the crystalline growth in the glaze"--Scope of Investigation, leaf 3.

The Location, Construction, And Maintenance Of The Rabbit Ears Pass Forest Highway, Julian Greenway Huckins

Professional Degree Theses

"The Bureau Public Roads, Department of Agriculture, has jurisdiction over the construction of, and Federal Aid Funds expended on, the Federal Aid Highways thruout the United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. It may not be generally known that the Bureau is also in direct charge of the location, construction, and maintenance of all National Forest Highways under the Department of Agriculture and all National Park Highways under the Department of the Interior. District No. 3 of the Bureau Public Roads, with headquarters in Denver, is composed of the States of Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and the Black Hills Region of South …
