Fuel dishing

During the 1960s, Americans lived in a lead-drenched society. They fueled their cars with leaded, antiknock gasoline. They ate food and their babies drank milk from lead-soldered cans. They stored drinking water in lead-lined tanks and transported it through lead or lead-soldered pipes. They squeezed toothpaste from lead-lined tubes and poured wine from bottles sealed with lead-covered corks. They picked fruit sprayed with lead arsenate pesticide and served it on lead-glazed dishes in houses painted and puttied with lead-based compounds. 

Coleman fuel, VM P naphtha, Zippo, or lighter fluid. Evaporate a small amount in a dish and inspect the residue if you are unsure of it s contaminants. If used for the extraction phase instead of the defatting phase, warm naphtha will extract alkaloids much better than cool naphtha. Naphtha is considered more selective for catching these alkaloids than DCM. Naphtha rises to the top of the jar... 

As indicated in Fig. 13, the fuel rod consists essentially of 0.325-iiich (0.82-centimeter) diameter, 0.390 inch long U02 pellets canned in a 0.382-inch (0.97-centimeter) outside diameter Zircaloy-4 tube. The high density fuel pellets are dished at both ends to allow fur axial differential thermal expansion and fuel volumetric grow ill with burnup. 

Results Whenever the yellow part of a flame came in contact with a cool dish, a black substance was deposited. This substance is carbon. When carbon burns incompletely, which is usually the case, it glows with a yellow color. A flame is made of tiny particles of very hot carbon. When they cool quickly, as they did on striking the cool dish, they were deposited there as black carbon. When they cool more slowly, as above an open flame, they join with atoms of oxygen from the air and become carbon dioxide (C02), a colorless invisible gas. You found the bottom of the saucers damp. Every flame gives off water vapor also. This is because the fuel contains hydrogen, which combines with oxygen in the air to form water vapor. Wherever there is a fire then, there is carbon in the flame, and there are two by-products—carbon dioxide and water vapor. 

To test the treating procedure, several fuels were analyzed for nickel by our recommended method, using both (1) treated and (2) washed but untreated Vycor dishes. The results, which are compared in Table 14.11, show that contamination is eliminated by the consecutive fumings with the acid. 

Figure 11.6. Combustion of a liquid fuel soaked in jute cloth wick inside a 100-nun diameter and 25-mm deep Pyrex glass dish in the ASTM E2058 Apparatus. Combustion was performed in normal air at a flow rate of 2.9 x 10 m /s inside a quartz glass tube with no external heat flux.
