Gases and Solids
16 762. The effect of working in an air-vacuum on the sorption characteristics of wood. (Germany) At temperatures above O”C, and adsorption of water vapor by bodies containing cellulose is much greater than the adsorption of non-polar gases. In the case of the wood, the adsorption is so high that practically identical results are obtained whether the experiments are carried out in vacua or in the ordinary atmosW. J. S. phere.

17 773. Thermodynamic and kinetic considerations of the vacuum metallurgical process. (Germany) The author considers the equilibrium between the melt, the crucible material and the gaseous phase, making use of the law of mass action and the usual thermodynamic functions. Transport phenoma and rate of evaporation are also considered. The effective pressure of the gas phase in the melt is greatly influenced by hydrostatic effects, size of gas bubbles and surface tension as well as by shape of crucible (ratio of surface area to volume). As a result the final gas content of the product may remain practically constant once a certain degree of vacuum has been reached and any further lowering of pressure has no effect.
