    An investigation of the oxidation of ferrous sulfide by fluosolid technique
    (1955) Coale, George Buchanan; McBride, Guy T.
    Data are presented on the rate of sulfur removal from a fluidized ferrous sulfide bed by the oxidation of the ferrous sulfide. The variables investigated were feed gas composition, temperature, and fluidizing gas velocity. The data indicate that diffusion of gases through the solid particle and the equilibrium decomposition of a solid product are the important rate-controlling steps.

    Isothermal relationship between activity coefficients and liquid composition
    (1950) Linam, Paul A; McBride, Guy T.
    Experimental vapor-liquid equilibria data were taken on the system, water-monoethanolamine-diethylene glycol. Proposed correlations involving relationships between isothermal activity coefficients and liquid composition were applied to the data on this and one other ternary system. The results indicate that a substantial amount of further investigation on other systems is necessary to establish any major conclusions.

    Isothermal relationship between activity coefficients and liquid composition. III. Ternary system: water-monoethanolamine-n-propanol
    (1952) Govits, Jerome; McBride, Guy T.
    Isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium relationships were determined at 950°C in a Colburn still for the ternary mixture water-n-propanol monoethanolamine and its three binary mixtures. The van Laar equation was found to describe the alcohol-water binary slightly better than the three-suffix Margules equation. The reverse was found to be true for the amine - water system. Because of a "concentration" effect, none of the equations employed in this investigation were very successful in predicting the amine-alcohol system. The Margules equation was found to have greater possibilities than either the van Lear or the symmetrical equations in predicting the ternary activity coefficients for this system. It was shown from this and a parallel investigation that an estimate of the accuracy of predicted ternary activity coefficients may be obtained from the correlation of the binary data.

    Isotherman relationship between activity coefficients and liquid composition. II. Ternary system: ethanol-water-monoethanolamine
    (1951) Khoury, Adeem Saleem; McBride, Guy T.
    Isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium data at 80°C. for the binary systems, ethanol-water, ethanol-ethanolamine, water-ethanolamine, and the ternary system, ethanol-water-ethanolamine were obtained. The results were tabulated and plotted as x-y diagrams and as log vs x curves. Certain thermodynamic equations were applied to the system under consideration. The range of application of each of the five equations used is discussed in some detail, and conclusions are drawn accordingly.
