U An extension of the general method for correlating forcedconvection heat transfer data is proposed for the case of a coil and the inside surface of a vessel with the fluid agitated by a flat paddle.
relationship between alpha-cellulose content and solubility in hot 10 per cent potassium hydroxide, no attempt was made to duplicate the time curves for the oxidized cellulose and hydrocellulose series.From the final results as given in Figures 2 and 3 the irregularities in the time curves do not appear to affect the relationship under investigation. The samples were evidently uniform throughout, as indicated by the agreement in analysis and also by the fact that the irregularities of the alphacellulose and potassium hydroxide solubility curves are such that these curves approximate mirror images.In Table I alpha-cellulose content for the sample which had been acid-treated for 8 hours was omitted because such treatment resulted in a product of such short fiber length that filtration was precluded.The coincidence of the relationship between alpha-cellulose content and solubility in hot 10 per cent potassium hydroxide solution to a point where the alpha-cellulose content was but 75 per cent in materials degraded by such widely different methods was an unexpected result. Since the preponderance of cellulose materials for technical use contain in excess of 75 per cent alpha-cellulose, the results give promise of wide application if combinations of oxidation and hydrocellulose formation are found to give concordant results.The divergence of these curves for more degraded materials may be due in part to the increasing difficulty in manipulation. This is especially true for alpha-cellulose determinations.Although the alpha-cellulose content when the potassium hydroxide solubility is known may be calculated from the equation, in practice, it is probably preferable to read the values directly from the curve.
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.
