    By the use of the experimental data of many previous studies, a new correlation for the pressure drop of a packed column was obtained in this work. The total pressure drop is expressed as the sum of the dry pressure drop and the wet pressure drop. The dry pressure drop originates mainly from the friction of gas rising through the void of the packed bed, and is expressed by the Fanning equation. The wet pressure drop originates from the increase in net gas velocity because of the smaller void of the packed bed owing to the liquid holdup, and therefore it is expressed as a function of liquid holdup, gas velocity, etc. The liquid holdup consists of static and dynamic holdups, and is correlated separately.

    It is well known that the heat transfer rate from a solid surface to a fluid is increased in an ultrasonic field, but the mechanism of enhancement of heat transfer with ultrasonics has not been elucidated sufficiently. To clarify the mechanism of heat transfer with ultrasonic irradiation, the effects of an ultrasonic standing wave of 28KHz on the free convective heat transfer from a heated or a cooled cylinder of diameter 17.5 mm to degassed water were investigated experimentally. In particular, temperature distribution near the node and the antinode of the ultrasonic standing wave were observed by the Schlieren method. The average and the local heat transfer coefficients between the node and the antinode of the standing wave from the heated cylinder to water were measured.
    In the case of heat transfer from the heated cylinder, the heated water near the cylinder is moved from the node to the antinode of the standing wave, whereas the cooled water near the cooled cylinder is moved from the antinode to the node. Therefore, the thermal boundary layer thickness around the cylinder is varied by movement of fluid and as a result it is considered that the local and the average heat transfer coefficient vary. An acoustic radiation pressure theory which explains the mechanism of heat transfer in an ultrasonic stnading wave field is proposed.

    As a basic study of solvent extraction of metals with high molecular-weight amines, the measurement of the distribution equilibrium of zinc chloride between Amberlite LA-2, long-chain secondary alkylamine (n-lauryl trialkylmethylamine), dissolved in n-hexane and an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid was carried out at 30°C over wide concentration ranges of amine, zinc chloride and hydrochloric acid.
    It was clarified that zinc chloride is extracted by the following reaction:
    ZnCl2(aq.)+(BH Cl)2(org.)(BH)2ZnCl4(org.)
    The equilibrium constant for this reaction and the stability constants of the chloro complexes of zinc were determined.

    The solvent extraction of zinc chloride from aqueous hydrochloric acid solution with Amberlite LA-2, a long-chain secondary alkylamine, dissolved in n-hexane was carried out at 30°C by the single drop method.
    The extraction rate mechanism was fairly well explained by the Handlos-Baron model, taking account of the interfacial reaction at the drop surface as a rate-determining step.
    Furthermore, it was found that the diffusion of zinc around a droplet is very rapid compared both to that inside a droplet and to the interfacial reaction under this experimental condition. Zinc in the continuous phase is extracted into the dispersed phase as a neutral species, ZnCl2.

    To establish an explicit method of estimating the effectiveness factor of a nonisothermal catalyst particle including intraparticle and interphase transport effects, the mass and heat transfer coefficients at gas-solid interphase are expressed as functions of temperature, composition, and mass velocity of the gas phase, taking the CO-H2-CH4-H2O system as a typical example. The system equations at steady state of the catalytic methanation of carbon monoxide with Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics are solved by the orthogonal collocation method. Effects of temperature, particle size, and the number of collocation points on the precision of the solution are studied in detail. The results are confirmed in comparison with those obtained by Weisz and Hicks'' method.

    The present paper deals firstly with the criterion concerning the hopper included angle which guarantees that solids behave in a mass-flow state in a bin, and secondly with an approximate theory for the dynamic pressures acting on mass-flow bins during emptying. Referring to the profile of failure planes observed within solids flowing in model hoppers, the critical hopper angle for mass flow was theoretically determined as a function of frictional angles. The dynamic pressures on bin walls and the concentrated pressure acting at the transition from a vertical section of a bin to a hopper of converging walls were predicted assuming that the stress patterns which exist within the bin are characteristic of mass flow conditions. The results obtained are compared with recent theoretical and experimental work.

    A simple analysis is carried out to represent the stress pattern set up during emptying of a funnel-flow bin. In the first section of this analysis, so called "funnel flow" of solids in a bin is classified into four different types for characterizing the flow pattern and the stress pattern in the funnel-flow bin. An approximate theory for the dynamic wall pressure is then presented. The wall-pressure distribution is predicted from information on bin geometry and the frictional properties of the system alone. This analysis also reveals that under a particular condition a considerably high overpressure develops on the bin wall. A method for finding an optimum design condition is illustrated, with examples.

    The subject of this paper is the fracture characteristics of single particles of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or polystyrene (PS) when they were impacted on a target by using an air gun. As a result of experiments a new method of measuring the specific fracture-surface energy was also obtained.
    From the total energy balance of the impacted particle and the target, the specific fracture energy for PMMA and PS was calculated from four kinds of measured values, namely impact velocity, rebound velocity, deformation, and impact force of a collided particle. The specific fracture energy was formulated as a function of the impact velocity of a particle.
    The specific fracture-surface energy was also calculated from the values of the specific fracture energy and the increase of specific surface area. The values of the specific fracture-surface energy at the optimum impact velocity were estimated to be 1.5-2.0 kJ/m2 for PMMA and 3.0-3.4 kJ/m2 for PS.

    A two-stage pressurized fluidized bed coal char gasification process has been developed. This process is one of the activities conducted under the "Sunshine Project" to provide coal conversion technology.
    A partition disc was used to divide the fluidized bed into two stages, the first used as a combuster and the second as a gasifier. Coal char in the ash and sand bed was gasified by air and steam to produce low-heating value gases. Experimental data on carbon efficiency, exit gas composition, particle size distribution, etc. are reported in the present paper.

    Experiments for removing emulsified oil from oily water by use of a bubble column were carried out in oil-in-water emulsion of dilute suspension and minute oil particles. The hydrodynamic performance of bubble layer in a column is evaluated approximately by the results obtained by authors. The removal rate of emulsified oil from oily water is influenced by many factors, and the fastest removal rate is obtained when pH is about 4. The mechanism of the removal of emulsified oil follows the first-order kinetics proposed by Imaizumi et al. under the assumption that the rate constant has a distribution expressed as the gamma distribution function.
