it is not surprising that they respond similarly toward salt solutions. It appears that secondary amines may be slightly superior to the tertiary amines.Table II and Figure 5 show the results of a study which confirms the validity of the expression K = {K+ K .)12.Gradient quantities of adipic and oleic acid were added to diisopropylamine and equilibrated with 0.1% salt solution.These acids add foreign ions to the system and increase considerably the supply of amine ions.The adipic acid, being water-soluble, increases the supply of anions in the water phase, raising the sodium selectivity. The water content of the amine phase is reduced, probably through increase in the electrolyte content of the water phase. Oleic acid suppresses the sodium selectivity. The water content of the amine is increased, probably through solvation with the oleate ions. Although the individual ionic selectivities were affected radically, the mean selectivity was unaffected, except by the variation in water content. The results obtained with these acids agree with the other secondary amine data.

Equilibrium vaporization rates of solid and liquid NaCl, KC1, KBr, Csl, and LiF have been measured, using Knudsen cells, with orifice flows in the molecular, hydrodynamic, and transitional regions. Observed rates in the latter two regions are always greater than those predicted by the Hertz-Knudsen theory for molecular flow. Methods for calculating equilibrium vapor pressures from rates in the transitional and hydrodynamic regions have been developed, and vapor pressures calculated in this way agree well with those derived from standard thermodynamic procedures. The ratio, actual flow/(hypothetical) Knudsen flow, in the transition regime depends only on the mean free path and is independent of the diameter of the orifice.

An empirical relation has been developed which correlates and predicts the 6re-suppression effectiveness of a wide variety of gaseous, liquid and solid agents. The flame-extinguisbment model is based on the premise that extinction is dominated by heat-absorption processes and that a flame is extinguished when suBcient heat has been removed by the extinguishant to reduce the temperature to a limit value. This limit is the minimum temperature at which the effective rate of the combustion reactions is s d a e n t to maintain flamepropagation, and it depends in a predictable way on the properties of the suppressant and flame system. The heat-balance equation describing tbis is derived in two stages. In the first, a preliminary equation is obtained by considering only those substances which are thermally stable and act only as heat-capacity sinks. In the second, the equation is generalized by consideration of all endothermic reaction sinks, e.g. vaporization, dissociation and decomposition. The general equation correlates most of the extinction data found in the literature. The results suggest that for most substances the extinguishing capacity is related to heat-extraction and that many of the effects previously attributed to chemical mechanisms may be thermodynamic in nature rather than kinetic.
Saturation pressures were measured for sodium, potassium, and cesium to temperatures of 2540°, 2400°, and 2350°F ., respectively, using a static method and a refractory metal apparatus with a diaphragm as a null-point detector. Vapor-pressure equations of the KirchhofF type accurately represent the observed data for extended temperature ranges with standard per cent deviations of ±0.52 for sodium, ±0.43 for potassium, and ±0.53 for cesium.
