The Preparation Of Titanium Tetrachloride From Rutile, Nalin Sen

Masters Theses

"In recent years, considerable interest has been shown in the manufacture of titanium metal because of its outstanding properties both physical and chemical. The commercial process for the preparation of metallic titanium, known as the Kroll process, consists essentially of the reduction of titanium tetrachloride with magnesium in an inert atmosphere to produce titanium metal with magnesium chloride as a by-product.

Since, titanium tetrachloride is the basic compound from which to prepare metallic titanium by the Kroll process, much thought has been given to the preparation of titanium tetrachloride from titanium ores such as rutile or ilmenite.

The present work …

A Study Of The Structure Of Titanium Diffusion Coatings On Iron And Steel, Pao-Jen Chao

Masters Theses

"The Problem of the Thesis: A series of experiments have been made in the Metallurgical. Engineering Department of the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy for the investigation of titanium diffusion coatings. The technique of applying the titanium diffusion coatings on iron and steel is still in the experimental stage. A few of the physical properties and chemical compositions of such coatings have been determined, but the structures have not yet been extensively studied. As the correlations of the structures and the desirable properties are valuable for improving the quality or titanium diffusion coatings on iron and steel, an investigation …

A Study Of Titanium Diffusion Coatings By X-Ray Fluorescent Methods, Alan Bernard Burgess

Masters Theses

"As the only previous determinations of the chemical composition of the titanium coatings had been analyses of the average composition of the entire coating, the determination of the variation in chemical composition throughout the coating was suggested. From this information, it was proposed that a better insight might be gained as to the extent and mechanism of diffusion in the coatings. It was also hoped to correlate the results with concurrent work being done on the phases present in the titanium coatings. From this correlation, it might be possible to show which phases are responsible for the desirable properties of …

Correlation Functions For Use In Small Angle X-Ray Scattering, James Edwin Thomas Jr.

Masters Theses

"Thus, the determination of the structure of the material, and obtaining a distribution function which will enable the theoretical scattering to be predicted is the major problem.

In this work the diffraction material shall be considered to contain scattering regions of identical geometrical forms at such a distance from one another that they will essentially scatter the incident beam independently of their closest neighbor. An effort will be made to determine a correlation function characteristic of these forms, which may be interpreted as a distribution function, that might allow the low angle scattering pattern to be predicted. This correlation function …

Separation Of Germanium, Lead, Zinc, And Cadmium By Anion Exchange, Franklin Maynard Hill

Masters Theses

"The object of this study was to investigate the ion exchange behavior of germanium and apply the anion exchange technique for the separation of germanium, cadmium, lead, and zinc.

A new interest in germanium has developed because of its recent industrial application as a semi-conductor. Analytical methods for the separation and analysis of germanium in low concentrations have not been perfected. Krause and Johnson, in a recent review, discussed and evaluated a number of methods.

Most of the methods for the analysis of germanium require a preliminary separation. The analytical methods for germanium reported in the literature are troublesome and …

Addition Of Ketene To Ethylene Oxide, John Philip Friedrich

Masters Theses

"The object of this work was to study the reaction between ethylene oxide and ketene, and if possible, to isolate and identify the postulated γ-butyrolactone. Although the results could hardly be described as completely gratifying, they were at least in a sense positive. Many possibilities remain with regard to further modifications of the experimental work on this problem, however it is the author's sincere wish that this investigation will serve some useful purpose in the future"--Introduction, page 4.

The Thermal Conductivity Of Sodium Chloride At Elevated Temperatures, Howard Martin Brown

Masters Theses

"The thermal conductivity of solids has been attributed to a combined effect of the quantized vibration of the lattice points, called phonons, and the flow of valence electrons. In nonconductors the thermal conductivity is due almost entirely to phonons, as was shown by Debye, whereas in metals the conductivity is due mostly to the flow of valence electrons. After Debye, Peierls calculated the lattice conductivity at elevated temperatures using quantum mechanics and demonstrated that it is proportional to 1/T. There are not enough data available to substantiate any theory but what data there are seem to indicate a mixed conductivity …

A Study Of Tunnel Demolition By Hasty Methods, Richard Lee Bullock

Masters Theses

"The use of explosives to construct obstacles which impede the enemy or close his routes of communication has long been employed by our armies. They have developed fairly effective methods for destroying bridges, setting up road craters and constructing abatis. However, one phase of obstacle construction, that of tunnel demolition, has been neglected in that no procedures or methods have been formulated which will aid in the proper destruction of tunnels.

At the present time, under the auspices of the Department of the Army, The Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy is conducting a research program on tunnel demolition. The …

Further Studies Of Vapor-Liquid Equilibria Of Methanol-Ethylene Glycol-Water, Herbert Benjamin Sachs

Masters Theses

"The freezing points of the ternary system methanol-glycol-water have been investigated by Conrad, Hill and Ballman. The vapor-liquid equilibria of the same system was studied by Sjoberg. These investigations were carried out to determine the properties of the system relative to its possible use as an antifreeze mixture.

Since Sjoberg's work in 1948, the improved Othmer equilibrium still has been introduced for vapor-liquid experimental determinations. It is therefore the purpose of the present investigation to evaluate the use of this still, compare results with those obtained by Sjoberg, and analyze ternary mixtures for the entire range of glycol concentrations.

Mechanical Vibration Of Vacuum Tubes, Jerry Dale Swearingen

Masters Theses

"Since the beginning of the art of vacuum tube building, vacuum tube engineers have been faced with many mechanical problems as well as electrical problems.

Early mechanical problems were comparatively small because most of the tubes were used in stationary apparatus where little or no vibration was envolved.

As time went on, vacuum tubes were placed in portable equipment and this useage established the need for a tube that was mechanically strong enough to give reliable electrical behavior where the tube was subjected to considerable vibration….

Recently it has been shown that vacuum tubes operating in the instrument cabins of …

An Investigation Of The Relationship Between Spelling And Articulation, Richard Errol Ham

Masters Theses

The Background of the Problem

Review of the Literature

The educational importance of speech problems.

There are a number of justification for the existence of speech therapy in the public schools, and some of them have often been expressed in terms of the educational handicap presented by the children with speech defects. Spelling, reading, writing, and speaking often seem to be directly affected by a speech defect. Non-verbal subjects (geography, mathematics, etc.,) can also be affected because they frequently require written reports and oral recitations. In school, the children with speech defects are said to exhibit an overall retardation. Van …
