An apparatus has been designed and fabricated which is suitable for collecting bulk-modulus data to 10,000 psig and to 750 F, and results are presented for seven fluids to 700 F. A program has been written for an IBM 1620 computer for use in reducing experimental data to both isothermal secant and tangent bulk-modulus values. Bulk-modulus curves are presented for a chlorinated phenyl methyl silicone (MLO 56-843), hexa-2-ethylbutoxydisiloxane (MLO-8200), phenyl methyl silicone (QF-258), a deep dewaxed mineral oil (MLO 60-294), an ester of TMP (MLO 60-50), di-phenyl-di-n-dodecyl silane (MLO 57-637), and bis(phenoxyphenoxy)benzene (MLO 59-692). The bis(phenoxyphenoxy)benzene exhibited the highest bulk-modulus values and the chlorinated phenyl methyl silicone exhibited the lowest. At the 67 percent confidence level, the standard error about the bulk-modulus curves ranged from ±0.1 percent to ±2.53 percent.
The variables that affect the determination of steam-volatile oil in cassia by the official ASTA method were examined in a preliminary study. On the basis of the results of this study an improved method was devised and was tested in a statistical program involving four types of cassias, two types of traps, two distillation rates, two sample weights, and two distillation times. Improvements in the method allow complete analysis in 3 to 5 hours, with an increase in the yield of steam-volatile oil and improved reliability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
