In the case the element are focused in the elevation plane (our inner tube probe), it may be more convenient (or easy) to use a flat reflector at the focus plane or at its equivalent focus plane in water, for instance. 

In America, the sulphur deposits (mostly in Louisiana and Texas) are dome-shaped layers about 30 cm thick, between limestone above and anhydrite below. From these, the sulphur is extracted by the Frasch process. A metal tube, about 15 cm diameter and containing two concentric inner tubes (Figure 10.1) is sunk into the top of the deposit. Water, superheated to 450 K, is forced...

The crude organic material is placed in a porous thimble G (made of tough filter-paper), and the latter placed as shown within the inner tube C. The apparatus is then fitted below to a bolt-head flask H containing the requisite solvent, and above to a reflux water-condenser J. 

Steam Distillatioo. A compact and efficient apparatus is shown in Fig, 43. The liquid to be steam-distilled is placed in the tube A and water is placed in the outer flask B. On heating B, steam passes into the inner tube A through the inlet tube C, and steam-volatile compounds are rapidly distilled and collected in the receiver placed at the end of the condenser D. 

For more efficient drying at elevated temperatures, the vacuum apparatus (Fig. 48(A)) is often used. The sample to be dried is placed in an inner tube surrounded by a heating jacket. 

The latter is connected above to a water-condenser and below to a flask which contains a liquid of appropriate boiling-point. The inner tube is connected to a water-pump. A more satisfactory pistol (Fig. 48(B)) consists of a wide glass tube A closed at each end by ground-glass caps. 

Lead formate separates from aqueous solution without water of crystallisation. It can therefore be used for the preparation of anhydrous formic acid. For this purpose, the powdered lead formate is placed in the inner tube of an ordinary jacketed cond ser, and there held loosely in position by plugs of glass-wool. The condenser is then clamped in an oblique position and the lower end fitted into a receiver closed with a calcium chloride tube. A current of dry hydrogen sulphide is passed down the inner tube of the condenser, whilst steam is passed through the jacket. The formic acid which is liberated... 

The reaction is carried out in a 2-litre long-necked round-bottomed flask, to which is fitted an efficient reflux water-condenser, capable of condensing a sudden rush of vapour without choking. For this purpose, a long bulb-condenser, similar to that shown in Fig. 3(A) (p. 9) is best, but the inner tube must be of wide bore (at least 12 mm.). Alternatively, an air-condenser of wide bore may be used, an.d a short double-surface water-condenser fitted to its top. A steam-distillation fitting for the flask should also be prepared in advance, so that the crude product can subsequently be steam-distilled directly from the flask. The glj cerol used in the preparation must be anhydrous, and should therefore be dehydrated by the method described on p. 113. 

The purification train. The oxygen is led from the cylinder through Ordinary flexible rubber condenser tubing to the constant level device A (Fig. 85). This consists of two concentric tubes (approximately 2 cm. and 0-5 cm. respectively, in diameter the inner tube being narrowed and curved at the bottom as shown) immersed in 50% aqueous potassium hydroxide contained in the outer vessel (diameter 3-5 cm.). Then by adjusting the liquid level in A the pressure of oxygen may be kept constant, and at a maximum of about... 

In the Pyrex glass West condenser greater efficiency of cooling is obtained by having a light-walled inner tube and a heavy-walled outer tube with a minimum space between them. 

The steam distillation of small quantities of material may be conducted in the apparatus of Fig. 11, 41, 5. The substance to be distilled is placed in the small inner tube (a specially constructed test-tube) and water is boiled in the outer bolt-head flask. The volume of the liquid in the inner tube does not increase appreciably since it is immersed in the hot liquid in the flask. 

Mix 100 g. of ammonium chloride and 266 g. of paraformaldehyde in a 1-litre rovmd-bottomed flask fitted with a long reflux condenser containing a wide inner tube (ca. 2 cm. diameter) the last-named is to avoid clogging the condenser by paraformaldehyde which may sublime. Immerse the flask in an oil bath and gradually raise the temperature. The mixture at the bottom of the flask liquefies between 85° and 105° and a vigorous evolution of carbon dioxide commences at once remove the burner beneath the oil bath and if the reaction becomes too violent remove... 

In a 250 ml. conical flask, fitted with an air condenser of wide bore, place 50 g. (51 -5 ml.) of acetonylacetone (see Section V,9, Note 2) and 100 g. of ammonium carbonate (lump form). Heat the mixture in an oil bath at 100° until effervescence stops (60-90 minutes) some ammonium carbonate (or carbamate) sublimes into the condenser and this must be pushed back into the reaction mixture by means of a stout glass rod. Replace the air condenser by a Liebig s condenser with wide bore inner tube and reflux the mixture gently (bath temperature, 115°) for a further 30 minutes dissolve the solid which has sublimed into the condenser in about 5 ml. of hot water and return the solution to the reaction mixture. 

A modified Hahn condenser, a form of partial condenser, is illustrated in Fig. VI, 12, 1 it is best constructed of Pyrex glass. The dimensions given are only approximate and may be varied slightly. The inside clearance should be approximately 0-3 cm. a water jacket should be fitted over the central portion of the side arm by moans of rubber stoppers. Alternatively, the side arm may have a length of about 10 cm. and a condenser fitted to this in the usual manner. An approximately 1 cm. layer of absolute alcohol is placed in the inner condensing tube and the top of the tube is connected to a reflux condenser. The outside of the condenser below the side arm should be insulated with asbestos cloth or paper. The refluxing mixture boils the ethyl alcohol in the inner tube, most of the isopropyl alcohol is returned to the flask and the acetone distils over. 

Liebig s condenser (16 cm. jacket held in position by rubber stoppers, iimer jacket 7 mm. in diameter or condenser, 20 cm. body with inner tube fused to outer tube). 

Apparatus 1-1 flask with a dropping funnel, a gas-tight mechanical stirrer and a very efficient reflux condenser the top of the condenser was connected with a trap. A tube containing anhydrous CaCl2 was placed between the trap and the water pump. The connection of the trap was made in such a way that the cumulene vapour could enter the large annular space (the long inner tube being connected to the water pump). 

The saturated calomel electrode (SCE), which is constructed using an aqueous solution saturated with KCl, has a potential at 25 °C of -hO.2444 V. A typical SCE is shown in Eigure 11.8 and consists of an inner tube, packed with a paste of Hg, HgiCli, and saturated KCl, situated within a second tube filled with a saturated solution of KCl. A small hole connects the two tubes, and an asbestos fiber serves as a salt bridge to the solution in which the SCE is immersed. The stopper in the outer tube may be removed when additional saturated KCl is needed. The shorthand notation for this cell is... 

Figure 19.7 shows a typical construction of a concentric-tube nebulizer. The sample (analyte) solution is placed in the innermost of two concentric capillary tubes and a flow of argon is forced down the annular space between the two tubes. As it emerges, the fast-flowing gas stream causes a partial vacuum at the end of the inner tube (Figure 19.4), and the sample solution lifts out (Figure 19.5). Where the emerging solution meets the fast-flowing gas, it is broken into an aerosol (Figure 19.7), which is swept along with the gas and eventually reaches the plasma flame. Uptake of sample solution is commonly a few milliliters per minute.

Three common types of nozzle are shown diagrammatically. Types A and K are similar, with sharp cutoffs on the ends of the outer and inner capillaries to maximize shear forces on the liquid issuing from the end of the inner tube. In types K and C, the inner capillary does not extend to the end of the outer tube, and there is a greater production of aerosol per unit time. These concentric-tube nebulizers operate at argon gas flows of about 1 1/min. 

Rubber. A thin coating of mica acts as a mold-release compound in the priming of mbber goods such as tires. It prevents the migration of sulfur from the tire to the air bag when the tire is being vulcani2ed (see Tire cords). Mica is also dusted on mbber inner tubes to prevent sticking. 

The first use for butyl mbber was ia inner tubes, the air-retention characteristics of which contributed significantly to the safety and convenience of tires. Good weathefing, ozone resistance, and oxidative stabiUty have led to appHcations ia mechanical goods and elastomeric sheeting. Automobile tires were manufactured for a brief period from butyl mbber, but poor abrasion resistance restricted this development at the time. 

To calciilate the fricBon factor/ for the inner tube use the relation... 

These results indicate that for this system the heat-transfer coefficient on the inner tube is about 40 percent greater than on the outer tube.
