Further Studies Of The Catalytic Oxidation Of Ortho-Xylene To Phthalic Anhydride Using A Fluidized Bed Reactor., Richard Shih-Chun Chu

Masters Theses

"This investigation was conducted to further study the vapor-phase oxidation or o-xylene to phthalic anhydride in a fluidized bed catalytic reactor. Parameters investigated during the study were temperature, catalyst volume, and catalyst activated by use or different promoters. Two different vanadium pentoxide catalysts were used. One was a new catalyst(Catalyst I) supported on a silica base and diluted with potassium sulfate. The other catalyst(Catalyst II) was similar to the first one except that it had been used in a commercial fixed bed reactor operated by the Monsanto Company, St. Louis, Missouri, using naphthalene as a reed material. It had been …

Nucleate-Boiling Heat Transfer To Water At Atmospheric Pressure, H. D. Chevali

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation was to study the hysteresis effect, the effect of micro-roughness and orientation of the heat-transfer surface, and the effect of infra-red-radiation-treated heat-transfer surfaces on the nucleate-boiling curve.

It has been observed that there exists no hysteresis effect for water boiling from a cylindrical copper surface in the nucleate-boiling region over the range studied. The nucleate-boiling curve has been found to be independent of micro-roughness and orientation of the heat-transfer surface. There was no detectable change in the nucleate-boiling characteristics of the heat-transfer surface when the surface was treated with infra-red radiation"--Abstract, page ii.

The Mössbauer Effect In Bismuth Ferrate, Bruce A. Banks

Masters Theses

"The magnetic hyperfine structure of the Fe⁵⁷ nuclei in bismuth ferrate was investigated using the Mössbauer effect. A Mössbauer effect spectrometer was built with consideration given to the elimination of vibration and the optimizing of the source, absorber, and detector geometries to produce the largest fractional Mössbauer effect per fractional standard deviation. The internal magnetic field at the Fe nuclei in BiFeO₃ was determined to (482 ± 9) kilooersteds at room temperature"--Abstract, page ii.

Electrodialysis Of Tomato Juice, Raghunath R. Khetan

Masters Theses

"Thermal decarboxylation of carboxylic acids has been helpful in illustrating some fundamentals of reaction kinetics in solution. It has been important in formulation of the theory of unimolecular reactions. It is also used frequently in the synthetical methods of organic chemistry.

In a recent study of the anodic oxidation of malonic acid in sulfuric acid at 80⁰C using a platinum anode, the interpretation of some results was impossible due to the spontaneous decomposition of the malonic acid. As no information is available in the literature about decomposition rates of malonic acid in sulfuric acid at the concentrations used, it was …

Synthesis And Structural Determination Of Intermetallic Compounds In The Fe-Ho System, Gerald J. Roe

Masters Theses

"The intermediate phases in the holmium-iron system were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and metallographic examination. The intermediate phases identified by X-ray diffraction data were HoFe₂ , HoFe₃ , HoFe₅, and Ho₂Fe₁₇.

A new intermediate phase, HoFe₃, was found. HoFe₃ was indexed as hexagonal with lattice parameters of a = 5.084 Å and c = 24.45 Å, and was thought to be of the space group R3̄̄m.

HoFe₂ was formed by a peritectic reaction and its solidus was estimated to be between 1325°C and 1340°C. suggested to be a congruent melting intermetallic compound with a melting point below 1340°C. …

An Investigation Of The Control Of Hydraulic Fracturing Through The Inclusions Of Prefractures, William Joseph Kabeiseman

Doctoral Dissertations

"Among the methods for determining the in-situ state of stress within the earth’s crust, hydraulic fracturing has been and is receiving much attention. This method, in principle, measures stress directly with no delicate electronic equipment required nor knowledge of the elastic modulus of the material.

This dissertation investigates experimentally whether or not control of fracture orientation can be achieved by the introduction of circular and elliptical prefractures along with sand inclusions into cast hydrostone blocks which are hydraulically fractured. A mathematical model is presented and analytically solved for the stress condition associated with a circular crack containing fluid pressure with …

Calculated Cohesive Energy Of The Ordered Copper-Gold Alloy Cu Au I, Richard W. Hannum

Doctoral Dissertations

"The ordered alloy CuAu is the fifty atomic per cent alloy in the copper-gold system. It was observed by Johansson and Linde(1) and was one of the first ordered alloys to be studied by x-ray diffraction methods(Z, 3). Two ordered superlattices of CuAu are observed. CuAu I exists below 380° C and has a tetragonal structure which is a slight distortion of the face- centered cubic. It is very highly ordered, with all copper and all gold atoms in alternate (002) planes, as shown in Figure 2. CuAu II, which exists between 380° and 415° C, is orthorhombic in structure(4) …

Dynamics Of Disordered Harmonic Lattices, Daniel N. Payton Iii

Doctoral Dissertations

"Extensive numerical and analytic studies of vibrational spectra, normal modes, thermodynamic properties, and dynamical properties of harmonic systems with varying degrees of substitutional disorder have been made. The effects on observable properties of random mixtures of two or more species of atoms with differing masses and differing couplings to nearest-and next-nearest-neighbors have been investigated. Using the IBM-7030 digital computer, spectra for linear chains of 100,000 atoms have been obtained. Calculations in two and three dimensions have been limited to arrays of approximately 1000 atoms. Varying composition, mass ratio, and order affect the spectra in two and three dimensions in ways …

The Activity Of Succinic Dehydrogenase And Indole Acetic Acid Oxidase In Cell-Free Preparations Of Hygrophorous Conicus, Jagdish M. Mehta

Masters Theses

"The enzyme indole acetic acid oxidase is produced by the fungus Hygrophorous conicus when it is grown in the presence of indole acetic acid (IAA) or tryptamine. The IAA acts both as an inducer and a substrate for this intracellular enzyme. The product of the oxidation catalyzed by the IAA oxidase is oxindole acetic acid (OIAA).

The rate of growth and the rate of formation of the enzyme IAA oxidase by H.conicus were studied in different media. Of these, a nitrate medium containing 0.5 per cent Yeast extract (Y.E.) was found to be the best for the production of H.conicus …

Determining The Best Computational Method For Simulation, Neil Hertenstein

Masters Theses

"Two related problems are treated in the discussion. First, what is the best computational means to be used to simulate a given system? Second, if hybrid is chosen, how do we assign the problem to the different computers to realize the fullest advantage of the hybrid simulation? Most of the available information in the literature is presented in light of the above questions. It is found that, despite the lack of a precise theoretical solution, much insight can be gained into the problem. A proposed procedure for hybrid assignment and a sample problem using this procedure completes the discussion"--Abstract, page …

The Effect Of Epoxy Resin In Stone And Slag Concrete, James Chun-Min Chou

Masters Theses

"In concrete construction, the weight of the structure represents a large portion of the total load carried; thus, there is considerable advantage in reducing the weight of the concrete. To obtain this result, there are at least three approaches (1). The first method of producing lightweight concrete is by means of substituting a porous lightweight aggregate of low specific gravity for the ordinary aggregate. The second method relies on introducing large voids within the concrete or mortar mass; this is known as aerated, cellular or gas concrete. The third method is simply to omit the fine aggregate from the mix …
