Research accomplishments during the report period include the following: (1) Studies of the transport of ethane-propane mixtures on activated carbon at 25/sup 0/C. (2) Potential theory correlation of adsorption data for acetylene-ethane mixtures on activated carbon at 25/sup 0/C. (3) Studies of the adsorption of propane and n-butane on porous crosslinked polystyrene beads at 25 and 30/sup 0/C. (4) Derivation of a general formula for the heat of adsorption on a heterogeneous surface. (5) Measurements of the transmission of a rectangular pulse input and a determination of the intraparticle diffusion coefficient. (6) Derivation of an analytic solution for the transmission of an adsorbate through a packed bed with intraparticle diffusion and with a first-order reaction. (7) A method for determining the viscosity and the second virial coefficient of gases and the effect of liquid-phase diffusional resistance in chromatography measurements. (8) Construction of a low-temperature bath.
