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, …

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 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 …

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.

Investigation Of Continuous Beams With Varying Moment Of Inertia By The Method Of Conjugate Points, Russell Arthur Bryant

Professional Degree Theses

"This design represents the application to a practical example of a rapid and direct graphic solution of the relation expressed by the Theorem of Three Moments. This method for obtaining moments in continuous beams eliminates the necessity of using arbitrary coefficients and gives the engineer an opportunity to exercise his ingeniuty [sic] and judgment toward obtaining efficiency and economy. The use of prescribed coefficients for continuous beams makes the design mechanical and unscientific and results in moments which may be 50% too small or 60% too large"--Introduction, leaf 1.

A Study Of Influence Line Analysis Of Stresses In A Cantilever Steel Highway Bridge, Lawrence King Snyder

Masters Theses

"As its name implies, this thesis introduces to the reader the basic conceptions and principles of the use of influence line analysis of the structural theory relating to calculation of stresses in a steel cantilever bridge truss"--Preface, page i.

Factors Affecting The Electrolytic Deposition Of Small Amounts Of Lead As Lead Dioxide And The Composition Of The Deposit, Thomas Gordon Day

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation is to determine the best conditions for the quantitative deposition of lead when the content of this element is below 5 milligrams and to study the composition of the deposited PbO₂. The following conditions were studied during the course of the investigation. 1. The maximum amounts of copper and zinc permissible for the quantitative determination of lead. 2. Methods of separating lead from zinc when the latter element is present in amounts greater than are permitted in the determination of the lead. 3. The separation of lead from copper when this element is in greater …

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 …

The Control Of Anode Corrosion, Edward Arthur Godat

Masters Theses

"This particular study of the control of anode corrosion in connection with the production of zinc by electrolytic deposition from commercial solutions is a continuation of work started at the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in 1929. It is not a new problem or even a new phase of the problem, but rather an attempt to confirm some of the ideas brought out in previous work and to perhaps more definitely establish some of the conclusions drawn from insufficient data, by more extensive tests and by attacking the problem from a slightly different angle"--Introduction, page 1.

Gas Analysis By Measurement Of The Thermal Conductivity, Bertie Lee Browning

Professional Degree Theses

"Types of gas analysis. Methods for the analysis of gases may be divided into two general classes, physical and chemical. In chemical methods, a constituent of the gas mixture undergoes chemical reaction and the amount of the constituent is determined by change in volume or by supplementary chemical methods such as titration. The physical methods of analysis differ in that no chemical change takes place in the gas. Instead, a determination is made of some physical property which is related to the composition of the gas mixture. Some of the physical properties which have been used for purposes of analysis …

A Study Of An Objective Placement Examination For Sectioning College Physics Classes, John Milton Willson

Masters Theses

"For several years the Department of Physics of the Missouri School of Mines has practiced sectioning of its classes in general physics. The aim has been to segregate in one section the students of superior ability, giving them a course including both the fundamentals of physics and their applications in engineering. The remainder are given a course in fundamentals without placing so much stress upon the applications...Another criterion used to supplement the first-year grade record is the student's score on the Iowa Placement Examinations. The physics examination consists of two parts, the Training Series and the Aptitude Series. These examinations …

Studies In The Distribution Of Orbitolina Walnutensis Carsey, Shirley Alfred Lynch

Masters Theses

"This paper has shown the stratigraphic and geographic range of the foraminifer, Orbitolina walnutesis Carsey. Samples from sections in thirteen counties in north and north central Texas have been studied. Many geologists have previously studied these sections in detail, correlation them and published the results"--Summary and Conclusions, page 73.

Some Results Of Magnetometric Surveying In Missouri, John Gustave Grohskopf

Masters Theses

"This thesis describes the results of a series of magnetic surveys carried on in the state of Missouri. The financial assistance required for the work was granted in the form of a fellowship to the author by the Industrial Club of the Industrial Bureau of St. Louis; Mr. George S. Smith, Director. Since the progress of any industrial center is accelerated by the mineral resources contiguous to it, the Industrial Club believed that further research upon known and also undeveloped mineral deposits might result in the development of them. It was decided that geophysical methods of research might show greater …

The Spinning Top, Aaron Jefferson Miles

Masters Theses

"Several mathematicians have solved the problems of motion of the top and gyroscope most completely, but none of them have considered in their solutions the effects of the supporting gimbal rings upon the motion or the effects of a variable rotor speed. It is the purpose of this paper to investigate the top equations by two well known methods; namely, by the method of Lagrange and by the method of Jacobi; considering in both the dynamics of the gimbal rings and varying rotor speed"--Introduction, page 3.
