vertical line is drawn to the curve and the process repeated. The vertical line from point c intersects the X , axis before reaching the curve so that the next horizontal line would lie below X,+ = X/ = 0.0. The required number of units is therefore 4.

Nomenclature S,s = pounds of solute in clear liquid and sediment, respec-

tively, per ound of inert solid in sediment pounds of sogtion (solute plus solvent) in clear liquid and in sediment, respectively, per pound of inert solid in sediment X = concentration of clear solution, pounds of solute per pound of solution Subscripts d = streams delivered by the system f = streams fed to the system m = last unit in the system (the least concentrated) n = number of unit, counting from more concentrated end 1,2,etc. = number of unit from which the stream is leaving

The use of the nomograph, constructed to solve the equation conveniently and accurately, is illustrated as follows: What is the surface tension of ethyl iodide a t 16’ C. when its viscosity is 6.2 millipoises (3) at this temperature? The compound number for ethyl iodide, read from the table, is 10. Connect 6.2 on the 7 scale with 10 on the compound number scale and produce the line to the y scale where the surface tension is read as 29.1 dynes per em. The experimental value reported in the International Critical Tables (2) is 29.9.
