S>A proposal is presented to design, construct, and operate a thermal gradient mass transfer loop to provide data on rates of solution and deposition as functions of time. Operation of the hot solution zone under controlled isothermal conditions is planned. It is felt that data obtained in such a loop would be of value in assessing the validity of presently proposed mecharisms for thermal gradient transfer or in devising new ones. The thermal and forced convection loops appear to offer moat promise of yielding significant results. Descriptions of the proposed metal systems to be studied are given along with the experimental procedure and method of data analysis. (J.R.D.)
