Two-Phase Gas-liquid Convection Heat TransferA Correlation

W. J . Mottell and J . F. Proctor, Savannah River Laboratory, E . I . du Pont de Nemours d Go., Inc.

E. J . Davis and M . M . David, Gonzaga Uniuersity

A compact, remotely operated unit for ion exchange processing of highly radioactive material. The equipment system can be installed or removed from its modular space as a single unit. A few items subject to periodic failure can be removed individually. Treating complete processing units as individual equipment pieces has several advantages. T h e concept is not limited to large separations plants, but could be used in a small-scale facility requiring process versatility.

An empirical slip ratio model (developed previously) was used to correlate data of major investigators of two-phase flow heat transfer. Data in purely convective heat transfer region predicted within an average absolute error of 6 to 17% over wide range of tube sizes, flow rates, pressures, and vapor mass fractions. Data correlated generally correspond to annular or mist-annular flow conditions. Results for steam-water system in good agreement with those for air-water system already published.

Data show effect of various types of carbon blacks on the characteristics of Celcon acetal copolymer. Type and concentration of carbon blacks influence thermal stability as well as initial physical properties and weathering resistance. A commercial, outdoor weathering-grade acetal copolymer, having optimum balance of properties, has been formulated, based on fine particle-sized channel black. Ms. 63-93

CONTROL

AT LOWEST COST

There are three important reasons why Foxboro pH controls have become the largest-selling pH control systems in the world. (1) NO PREAMPLIFICATION is needed between electrodes and recorder-controller. Savings include lower initial costs, lower installation and maintenance costs. (2) LONGER ELECTRODE LIFE Five times greater adjustment for drift than any other system quintuples time between electrode replacements. (3) SIMPLE RANGE CHANGE Screwdriver adjustment provides unlimited range change from 0 to 14 pH. Minimum span is 2 pH. For an intelligent cost analysis of the advantages Foxboro pH control can bring to your operations, consult your Foxboro Field Engineer.

John D . Gaber and William J . Mecham, Argonne National Laboratory Gas mixing was studied in systems involving various combinations of packing and fluidizing materials. For design purposes gas mixing for a fluidized-packed bed reactor can be estimated from packed bed data with a suitable safety factor to, allow for directional variance in gas stream caused by nonuniform pressure gradients associated with fluidization.

POLYMERlZATlON AND POLYCONDENSATION PROCESSES This book presents 21 papers based upon the Symposium on Polymerization and Polycondensation Processes held by the Division of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry at the 140th National ACS Meeting in September 1961. The introduction is by Symposium Chairman, Dr. Norbert A. J . Platzer of Monsanto.

nique is frequently employed to manufacture chemically different polymers. This monograph therefore stresses unit processes rather than those oriented towards products. The papers are grouped under: Addition Polymerization, Polycondensation Reactions, and Commercial Polymerization Processes and Equipment Design.

Emphasis here is on the theoretical and chemical engineering aspects of polymer chemistry. During the past ten years polymerization and polycondensation processes have developed to such an extent that the same method, equipment, catalyst or tech-

Polymer chemistry pervades much of chemical technology and biochemistry as well. Workers in these fields will find this volume of great value, and so will those wanting t o keep current with advances in general organic and physico-organic chemistry.
