The Effect Of Certain Chemical Treatments On Photolytic Image Formation, H. W. Casey, D. J. Krupcale

Theses

A study of certain chemical baths and combinations of chemical baths was made to determine their effect on the print-out image of a specially-prepared conventional developing-out enlarging paper. These Print-out images were formed and made visible entirely from the photolytic effect of the image exposure. Arc lamp, tungsten lamp and electronic flash lamp exposures were made; arc lamp exposures were the most satisfactory. The chemical associated with the most image improvement was stannous chloride.

The Effects Of Water Addition On The Threshold Speed, Gamma And Net Density Of Du Pont Lino-Writ 5 Direct Recording Paper, Robert H. Renner, Stanley N. Stein

Theses

The effects on speed, gamma and net density of Du Pont Lino-Writ 5 paper, by the addition of water prior to the initial exposure and amplification exposure separately and in combination, was investigated. The effects on speed and net density of Kodak Polycontrast paper by water addition prior to exposure were also explored for comparsion purposes.

A statistically significant decrease in the average value of speed and a significant increase in the average value of net density was observed when Lino-Writ paper was moistened. The addition of moisture gave no evidence of having an effect on the average value of …

A Study Of The Effects Of The Concentration Of 2-Mercapto-4-Phenylthiazole On The Clearing Rate Of A Chlorobromide Emulsion And Evidence Of The Presence Of Activity Sites, Peter Lloyd

Theses

It has been hypothesized than materials which tightly adsorb on sliver halide lattices will attach themselves preferentially at certain points, usually referred to as activity sites, which have areas of only a few percent of I the total crystal surface. An experiment using the mechanism of Photosolubilization as revealed by R. K. Blake and others of the E. I. DuPont de nemours Research Laboratories measureing the clearing rate of a chlorobromide emulsion doped with 2-mercapto-4-phenylthiazole indicates that the fixing rate is substantially modified by very small concentrations of this compound, and that the rate remains essentially constant over quite a …

The Effect Of Development Time, Temperature, And Sulfite Content On The Acutance Of A Photographic Emulsion, Jeffrey Waltzer

Theses

Acutance of Plus-X film was examined as a function of development time, temperature, and sulfite content. Five levels of each factor were used with equal increments respectively. Method of printing knife-edge targets and noting the extent of edge-effects was also sought for. Acutance was found to increase with increasing development time and temperature but decreased when the sulfite content of the developer exceeded the recommended amount.

The Effect Of Column Diameter On The Efficiency Of Packed Fractioning Towers, William Lintner

Theses

The object of this work was to study the effect of packed column diameter on the fractionation efficiency so that a more reliable engineering approach could be employed in the scaling up of fractionating columns.

The height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) was employed to compare column efficiencies in this study. The HETP was calculated for several gas mass velocities through columns of one-inch, two-inch and three-inch diameter, packed with one-quarter inch Berl saddles. All data were collected at total reflux conditions employing the standard n-heptane-methylcyclohexane binary.

The results indicated that the efficiencies of the one-inch and two-inch diameter …

A Study Of Emulsion Viscosities, Frederick R. Cummings

Theses

The apparent viscosity of stable emulsions has been measured and evaluated. The systems studied consisted of various oil in water emulsions, utilizing a series of six n-paraffins from heptane to octadecane. The system was stabilized with a conventional emulsifying agent. The apparent viscosity of these emulsions was studied in relation to (a) the concentration of the disperse phase and, (b) the viscosity of the hydrocarbon used as the continuous phase.

It was established that the volume concentration of the disperse phase had considerable effect on the apparent viscosity of the emulsion. An increase in the concentration of the disperse phase …

Effect Of Particle Size And Particle Size Distribution On The Burning Rate Of Barium Chromate-Boron Pyrotechnic Delay Compositions, Donald J. Freeman

Theses

The burning rate of barium chromate-boron delay compositions is shown to be related to the 10 percent particle size point on the particle size distribution curve (particle size vs. percent greater than size) for either of the components. The burning rate is also shown to be inversely proportional to the 10 percent point of the barium chromate; and to follow a hyperbolic type relationship with the 10 percent of the boron, decreasing asymptotically as the 10 percent point increases. No correlations were found between the burning rate of the compositions and the average particle diameter, the mean particle diameter, or …

Investigation Of The Octene-Decane-Urea Adduct Equilibrium System, Frederick Charles Guest

Theses

Concentrations of equilibrium mixtures formed by adding increments of octene to a solution of urea in methanol to form adduct are reported.

Calorimetric studies indicate that the addition of octene to a urea-methanol solution shows an endothermic heat effect prior to the formation of solid adduct. The heat effect becomes exothermic as solid adduct is formed.

Addition of decane to an equilibrium octene-urea adduct system increased octene concentration in the supernatent liquid, indicating an octene release from the original adduct as decane adduct was formed.

The order in which decane and octene were added to form the decane-octene-urea adduct system …

Factors Affecting The Biodegradation Of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonates In River Die-Away Studies, Neil M. Mchugh

Theses

The determining factors in the biodegradation of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates have been investigated using the river die-away technique. Emphasis was placed on finding the correlation between biodegradability and each of the following: surfactant structure, inoculation of basic water medium with activated sludge, and acclimation of bacteria to a given surfactant. It has been shown that the lower the molecular weight of linear alkylate, down to C8, the faster the rate of biodegradation. It was further shown that there is no direct relationship between phenyl position distribution and biodegradability, nor is there any direct correlation between the amount of surfactant remaining …

The Thermal Conductivity With Vapor Pressure For N-Paraffin Hydrocarbons, Jacob Tolsma

Theses

A literature search of the thermal conductivity of pure liquids has been made and experimental values have been compiled. Study of the theory of the thermal conductivity of liquids indicated that a relationship exists between thermal conductivity and viscosity. Previous investigations have found an almost linear relationship between the logarithms of viscosity and vapor pressure for n-paraffin hydrocarbons. In this investigation the logarithm of thermal conductivity plotted versus the logarithm of vapor pressure for the same series was also found to be almost linear. The equation of the line when combined with a linearized Antoine equation in terms of the …

The Rimo Filter, Richard Thomas Modafferi

Theses

Up to the present time, there has existed no general method for obtaining the pole locations of minimum-phase constant time delay filters of desired selectivity. Since constant time delay filters are necessary for low distortion FM transmission, and minimum-phase filters are easy to construct and align, a general method for locating the poles of minimum-phase constant time delay filters would be of considerable importance. Presented in this paper is a procedure for locating the poles of minimum-phase constant time delay filters of desired selectivity, using a FORTRAN digital computer program. Two experimental FM receivers were built to test. the new …

Electrolytic Polishing Of Copper And Nickel Silver, Halle Abrams

Theses

To facilitate the study of surface conditions on ultrasonic weldability, electrolytic polishing was used to obtain four types of surfaces on copper and nickel silver (alloy D). A500 orthophosphoric acid bath was used, and the necessary operating conditions to obtain these surfaces were established. In accordance with current electrolytic polishing theory, the existence of the anode viscous layer and anode surface film was observed, and their role in the polishing process is discussed. By means of metallurgical techniques and surface profile measurements, it is shown that the four types of surfaces are significantly different, and good reproducibility of these surfaces …

Use Of Borohydride To Determine The Difference In The Developable Density For A Chemically Sensitized And Non-Sensitized Emulsion., S. Laufer, R. Golembe

Theses

An emulsion prepared so as to minimize the effect of any chemical action on the grains was in its "primitive" state, i.e., that no chemical sensitizing had occurred during the formation of the emulsion grains in "inert" gelatin. Another emulsion was made so as to maximize the effect of any chemical action on the grains by chemical sensitizing methods. This emulsion was also prepared in "inert" gelatin. Sodium Borohydride was added at various levels of concentration to chemically fog both emulsions. The developable density was measured. Also, an attempt was made to measure the amount of reduction sensitization occurring if …

An Experimental Apparatus For Measuring The Relative Illumination Of Finite Conjugate Lenses, Claude Fedele, Leo Neumann

Theses

The apparatus described is designed to measure relative illumination of finite conjugate lenses with comparable accuracy and reliability than existing methods and provides a graphical output with less time expended for data acquisition. An opto-mechanical scanning system is utilized for transmitting light pulses from known image field positions to a photomultiplier tube. The light pulses are transmitted to the phototube via an optical system consisting of an array of lucite rods (light pipes) positioned in the image plane of the lens under test. The rods terminate at a cylindrical housing which contains a rotating lens prism assembly which scans the …

The Effect Of Turbid Water In The Optical Path Of A Photographic System On The Modulation Transfer Function Of That System, G. Fulmer, Harvey Greenberg

Theses

Various levels of a turbid suspension were introduced into a specially constructed tank and photographs of a variable transmittance sinusoidal object containing a step tablet were taken. The resulting images were processed and measured on a micro-densitometer to obtain the modulation transfer functions of the system. Results indicate that with increasing turbidity there is a speed loss, increased flare or reduced contrast, and decreasing modulation transfer functions. The increasing flare is not the only factor causing the demodulation of the underwater images.
