✦ Synopsis

A careful analysis of the experimental results from imbibition experiments, expressed as the increased weight of a porous layer once it was in contact with a liquid, vs time, has been done on the basis of Washburn's equation, which is usually the main tool for that analysis. It has been found that the experimental results reflect other physical phenomena more than imbibition, among them the effect of the initial contact between plate and liquid and the evaporation of liquid from the wetted porous layer. The unavoidable disturbance introduced by the first of these phenomena leads to the need for rescaling of the experimental data. Once this is done, Washburn's equation has to be applied accordingly to the new reference system chosen. Also, it has been shown that if evaporation is present, experimental data deviate from Washburn's predictions. This effect disappears if the porous layer is covered.

Two experimental methods are usually employed to study liquid penetration in porous media. One of them is based on the measure of the height of the advance liquid front vs time, and the other one is based on the measure of the weight gained by the porous system due to the liquid penetration vs time.

A procedure is described for computing sedimentation coefficient distributions from the time derivative of the sedimentation velocity concentration profile. Use of the time derivative, (delta c/delta t)r, instead of the radial derivative, (delta c/delta r)t, is desirable because it is independent of

The Production of oil of American Wormse
The Production of oil of American Wormseed, U. S. P., in Illinois**This investigation was undertaken because the supply of wormseed oil has been for several years vcry inadequate to the demand, and this condition has prevented extensive use of the oil in the treatment of domestic animals—a field in which it is much needed. Owing to the low individual value of such animals as hogs, for example, it is not economical to treat them with a drug of such high price as wormseed oil. This paper is a report of the first year’s work in producing this oil at the Experiment Station of the Moorman Mfg. Co., Quincy, Ill. It is planned to continue the work on a much larger scale, covering every phase of the problem. Anyone wishing to produce the oil can obtain the full cooperation of this company on request.
