Comparison of Different Types of Equations for the Estimation of Vapor Pressures

Treating fine coals at 400' to 425' C. with a fluidizing gas (either inert gas or steam containing a t least 0.2'% oxygen) destroys caking properties. A completely nonagglomerating char produced in minimum of 5 minutes. Chars can be used as feed for fluidized-bed gasification or a hydrogasification process.

Brazelton, Argonne National Laboratory Heat transfer coefficients measured from a porous sphere and a cylindrical heater to beds of solids fluidized in a n air stream. Solids varied only in thermal properties. A model developed which predicts observed relation of heat transfer coefficient to solid thermal properties. Predictions agree with previous data on effect of gas conductivity and on maximum observable Nusselt number.

Recycle in liquid Extraction

Robert E. Treybal, Arew York University I n mixer-settler extractors, recycling that liquid which the solute distribution favors from the settler to the mixer can materially increase the stage efficiency. When distribution favors the dispersed phase, the volume of a cascade, and hence the cost, may be substantially reduced. MS.63-369

Several distributions have been determined outside a fiber during wet spinning of a single filament. The transition from laminar to turbulent flow was correlated. Elastic forces generated within the spinnerette were found responsible for most of the tension ordinarily needed in spinning fiber. M s . 63-378
