A Fundamental Study Of Clay Drying Using Ware Of Large Cross Section, Robert F. Grady Iii

Masters Theses

"The drying of clay has been studied extensively in the past by many investigators, some of whom attempted to relate this information to the structure of clay and thereby develop a more vivid picture, while others studied the mechanism of drying in its own right in order to present a useable theory that would allow improvements in the drying operation.

At present the literature is unable to present a theory of the mechanism of drying that is sufficiently general to cover the observed aspects of clay drying. Many and varied mechanisms are presented, but correlation is seldom completely evident between …

Geology Of The South Half Of The Meramec Spring Quadrangle, Missouri, Howard Joseph Yorston

Masters Theses

"This report is a continuation of the work initiated by Mueller in his mapping of the north half of the Meramec Spring Quadrangle. The completion of this work provides not only a geologic map of the whole quadrangle but also completes the mapping of the geology of a strip of quadrangles extending from Rolla to the Mississippi River. In addition to being a step closer to the goal of complete geologic coverage for the state, this work will be of value to those concerned with the prediction of depths of wells drilled in search for water, which in view of …

The Velocity Of Ultrasonics In Liquids, Mack A. Breazeale

Masters Theses

"In acoustics the term ultrasonics is used to refer to those frequencies which are above the range of human hearing; that is, frequencies above approximately 20,000 cycles per second. Since the laws of sound which are valid for the audible range are also valid in the ultrasonic range and since the wave length of ultrasonics is much shorter than that of audible sound, ultrasonic has proved very valuable in the calculation of both the velocity and the absorption coefficient of sound in various media. This is especially notable in the case of liquids, where the velocity of sound is much …

Mechanism And Measurement Of First Stage Graphitization In White Cast Iron, David S. Gould

Masters Theses

"The original object of this thesis was to ascertain if coercive force measurements could be used for the determination of degree of malleablization in malleable iron. Since first stage graphitization was involved, it was only natural that an interest in the mechanism of first stage graphitization developed. The investigation which resulted from this interest was done primarily for the edification of the author, however it was subsequently deemed of enough importance to be included in this thesis. For this reason the thesis may appear at times to deviate from the original objective"--Preface, page iii.

Effect Of Carbon Content In Steels Upon The Deposition Of Titanium From A Fused Salt Bath, Reinhard Paul Abendroth

Masters Theses

"STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Previous work done at the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy on the deposition of titanium upon various metals, especially iron and steel, bas shown that titanium can be deposited upon ingot iron and. low carbon steels with comparitive ease. Difficulty was encountered in attempts to deposit titanium upon steels of higher carbon content and upon cast irons.

For this reason, it was decided to investigate more thoroughly the relationship between the carbon content of various steels and the quality of titanium coatings deposited on these steels. Once this relationship had been established, a suitable theoretical explanation …

Foraminifera Of The Type Section Of The Archusa Marl Of Mississippi (Eocene, Claiborne Group, Wautubbee Formation), Nathan Eugene Crockett

Masters Theses

"The type locality of the Archusa marl member of the Wautubbee formation is situated south of Quitman, Clarke County, Mississippi. Stratigraphically, the unit falls within the middle Eocene Claiborne group, being roughly equivalent to the upper part of the Lisbon formation of Alabama and the lower part of the Cook Mountain. The marl falls within the Ostrea sellaefonnis zone and the zone of "Ceratobulimina eximia.” The type section consists of 48 feet of sandy marls, with a thin oyster bed near the middle.

The Archusa foraminifera fauna consists of 87 species and varieties, belonging to 49 genera and …

Investigation Of Soil Bricks As A Building Material, Ahmet Ilter

Masters Theses

"The need of a cheap construction material for small village farm construction in Turkey makes soil-cement a most desirable material. What is more, as far as the author knows, soil-cement has not found any application in farm house construction in Turkey as yet. So the author, being acquainted with his native country's house construction problem, and seeing the suitable application soil-cement have on such construction, came to the decision that he should investigate this problem thoroughly.

The main objective of the tests run in this investigation will be to find the strength of different samples of soil-cement. The stabilizer used …

Testing Of Missouri Shales For Light Weight Aggregate Production, Jerry D. Plunkett

Masters Theses

"The original objective of this investigation was to determine by testing those clays, shales, and loesses occuring in Missouri in large deposits (over 15 feet in thickness with little overburden), which would be suitable for the production of light weight aggregate. The second objective was to investigate the mechanism of bloating as related to the physical and chemical properties of the above materials, and by using these relationships cause clays which do not naturally bloat, to bloat using some addition. The use of additives would permit the economical use of material closer to the market in many instances.

A Sociometric Study Of Popularity And Academic Achievement In A Ninth Grade Class, Elizabeth V. Banks

Masters Theses

The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

It is common knowledge that education consists of more than training for academic achievement. It consists of teaching whole individuals how to live effectively in their social environments. Although it is almost impossible to teach them all the skills directly they can be helped to learn through experience a great number of them for themselves. These view-points with respect to the teaching of students are held not only by a great number of educational authorities but are also part of the educational practice of a great number of teachers.

A.C. Circuit Interruption, Palmer L. Anthony Jr.

Masters Theses

"In the last few years the transmission voltages have increased tremendously. Along with the voltage increase came increased load carrying ability for the circuits. The first few links of a new 330 KV transmission system are now under construction in this country. Sweden is already operating a 380 KV line. It is expected to carry a load as high as 850,000 KW on a single circuit.

Interconnection between systems in adjoining areas is a practice to get further operating benefits. The benefits are - reduction of necessary reserve capacity, increased load diversity, and decreasing losses.

Both of these developments bring …

Plastic Deformation Of Rocks, Muhammed Abdul Waheb

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation is to search for a method by which the strength properties of a rock may be described.

For this purpose, an attempt has been made to find out some relationship by which the rooks may be classified or described. For the solution of problems of mine stability, the mechanical properties of a rock should be known, i.e., hardness, toughness and strength. It is difficult to make a study of some method of classification or description of a rock without knowledge of these properties.

With a view to achieve the solution of a general classification for …

Effect Of Viscosity On The Cetane Number Of A Diesel Fuel, Moris Bolay

Masters Theses

"The object of this paper is to determine or rather experimentally establish the effect of a change in viscosity of a given diesel oil in regard to the ignition quality (cetane rating) of the oil.

The author did not attempt to prove why or find out how much the cetane number was affected. But, merely, tried to experimentally verify the fact that the cetane number of the fuel used underwent a change when its viscosity was decreased by preheating it.

Since his professional interests lie in the field of automotive engineering, several thesis problems were suggested to him by Dr. …
