Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Retardation of Combustion Through Wire Screens in Closed Pipes: A Thesis
This investigation is confined to the use of explosive mixtures of illuminating gas and air, at approximately atmospheric pressures and room temperatures, at rest in closed 4-inch wrought iron pipe and fittings. These conditions were arbitrarily chosen; the apparatus is designed with the end in view of permitting a more extensive study of the subject by varying these conditions, if such a continuance be deemed advisable in succeeding years.
The subject matter of this thesis has been divided into five parts:
Part one,
Introduction, and statement of trade customs in the manufacture of wire screens.
Part two,
A statement of the problem. Method of using screens today.
Part three,
Description, construction and calibration of apparatus.
