Internal Combustion Engines, Neal Ham

Professional Degree Theses

"Every one is either directly or indirectly concerned with two types of power plants. The steam power plants of Kansas City furnish us with light, power, and transportation. In this day these are indispensable. The gas, or internal combustion engine power plant furnishes transportation, mainly and some power. Each of our big buses has an internal combustion engine power plant under the hood.

It will be our aim here to show how the internal combustion engines operates and discuss some of the types in use in automobiles and stationary power plants. When one contemplates the immense amount of power developed …

Cone Deformation Eutectics Using Sodium Chloride, Dolomite, And Alpite Rock, William K. Schweickhardt

Bachelors Theses

"Heterogeneous Equilibrium, alone, is an extensive study in itself and no discussion of it will be given here. It is known from this study that different phases are formed in various systems, the system consisting of two or more components. Some systems form an eutectic, which is a mixture of two solids which combine to form a liquid at a lower degree of temperature than either of the milting points of the two solids, as shown in the two component system of KCl and LiCl¹; some systems form solid solutions in which there is no eutectic formed, and the solids …

Difference In Pyrometric Cone Equivalent Between Raw And Calcined Clay, Charles Alfred Freeman

Bachelors Theses

"In a recent survey of the refractories field with particular respect to the Pyrometric Cone Equivalent of different clays it was suggested that a difference in the P. C. E. value of clays might be found due to different stages of heat treatment that these clays had previously undergone. At present there is considerable apparent lack of information regarding this problem. It is evidenced largely in the samples of clay sent into commercial testing and research laboratories by manufacturers who are attempting to develop definite properties from a given clay or clay body. There is a large difference in the …

The Preparation Of Hydroxy-Acridines And Different 5-Position Acridine Derivatives., Francis Bratten Rethwisch

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Jensen and Friedrich have outlined new methods for the preparation of acridine compounds. They have shown that the treatment of o-aminobensaldehyde with the halogen derivatives of nitrobenzene and with the corresponding derivatives of toluene would yield the corresponding diphenylamine derivatives. These diphenylamine derivatives split off water very easily to form acridine compounds. By this method they have prepared the 1(9)-nitro and 3(7)-nitroacridine, and the 1(9)-methyl and 3(7)-methylacridine. The general application of the reaction used in preparing these compounds has been examined, and it has been found that the reaction can be extended in two ways. Halogen derivatives of benzene compounds, …

Postal Communication In The South-West, 1789-1813., Mary Angela Sweeney

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In every civilization of which any record has been preserved, there is known to have been some organized plan for maintaining communication by couriers who were either post runners or riders mounted. The relaying of these couriers was an obvious expedient for securing greater speed. The term post is derived from positus of the verb pono. The place where the relay was effected was marked by a "post." Hence post road, post office. The colonists brought to America no ideas of postal service from England. The General Post Office of Great Britain was no t established until 1657 and the …

Color., Bruce B. Vance

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Color, any attempt to apply the scientific principles of color vision in the making of a picture must surely fail if it be not granted at the out set that it is only to a limited degree that those principles can apply. Color appreciation is as much a psychical as a physiological, and indeed, it is psychical not only with regard to the objective impression itself, but also with regard to the subjective, the associational mental process. Previous knowledge and training, experience traditions, the association of color impressions with impressions previously received through other senses and stored away as memories, …

Analysis Of New Mexico State School Laws, John Seyfried

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The analysis that follows does not purport to do what only a state-wide survey could properly do, that is, treat fully and minutely the New Mexico public school situation. The real intent is to occasion serious thought on the larger problems of the way for an expert state survey, preliminary to more constructive action. The extent that school problems may be treated herein is limited by the fact that only such time, effort, and other resources were at the writer’s disposal as are commonly available in the preparation of a thesis to be submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements …

A Thirty Year Educational History Of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Elizabeth Strong Shamberger

History ETDs

It has seemed to me that an educational history of the city in which I was born and reared would be an interesting and worth-while subject for a Master's Thesis: interesting to me because the names of men and women I have always known are written indelibly into its pages; worth-while to others because the account is as authentic and unbiased as a faithful study of the documents obtainable could make it.

Solubility Of Solid Paraffins In Lower Molecular Weight Hydrocarbons, Ruth Veino Goodhue

Masters Theses

"The solubility of solid paraffins in the lower molecular weight liquid hydrocarbons offers a problem of some considerable commercial importance since it is by use of these low boiling hydrocarbons that the undesirable paraffin waxes are removed from lubricating oils in the Sharples process. Little data is to be found in the literature on the solubility of the paraffin waxes, and that which is available is of a very general nature...This work was undertaken for the purpose of finding if possible, what effect this "cracking" or "telescoping" process has on the solubility of the paraffins in the liquid hydrocarbons"--Introduction, page …

A Study Of The Determination Of Silica In The Presence Of Fluorine, William Harlan Ode

Masters Theses

"The determination of silica in the presence of fluorine has always been accomplished either by difficult and complex analytical procedures or by rapid arbitrary control methods of doubtful precision...Hence, this study was undertaken in order to determine whether a more simple method might be found for the determination of silica in the presence of fluorine"--Introduction, page 1-2.

A Critical Study Of Blood Sugar Determination, Myrtle L. Sand

Bachelors’ Theses

There are many methods, for the determination of this sugar, in use now, some used widely others not so widely. Methods vary as to accuracy and there has been many comparisons made between various methods. There is a recognized clinical need of a method for a quantitative sugar determination which will be quick, accurate, and adapted for use with small blood samples. As a result of this last, namely adaptation for use with small blood samples, several micro chemical methods have been published. One of these is the Epstein method. It is simple and supposed to make the estimation of …
