Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the flammable gases found in coal mines, a subject that has received considerable attention in Europe. The author presents the results of their experiments, which utilized samples from various mine environments, including those with active fires and recent explosions. Their findings challenge the widely held belief that gases like hydrogen, ethylene, or carbon monoxide are common constituents of mine air. Instead, the author argues that these gases are rarely present, even in minute quantities, under normal operating conditions in American coal mines. The author's meticulous analytical methods and extensive data provide a comprehensive examination of mine gases. They demonstrate the accuracy required for precise gas analysis in mining contexts and emphasize the importance of avoiding erroneous conclusions due to faulty experimental techniques. By focusing on the specific chemical reactions involved in methane combustion, the author presents a corrected equation for calculating methane and ethane in gas analysis, ensuring reliable results. Overall, this book offers valuable insights into the nature of flammable gases in mine air, challenging established assumptions and providing a more accurate understanding of their composition. The author's findings have significant implications for mine safety and the prevention of explosions, making this book an essential resource for professionals in the field.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of gas analysis, a field that was rapidly developing in the early 20th century. The author, a scientist at the Bureau of Mines, provides a detailed account of his groundbreaking work on the separation and analysis of hydrocarbons in both natural gas and artificial illuminating gas. Building on the pioneering research of Ramsey and Travers, the author describes a novel method using fractional distillation at low temperatures and pressures. This innovative technique enabled the precise identification and quantification of individual hydrocarbons, a significant leap forward from the then-prevalent methods that often lumped various gases together as "illuminants." The book explores the practical applications of this method in analyzing natural gas used for domestic and industrial purposes, as well as the composition of artificial gas used for illumination. The author meticulously describes his experiments, analyzing different samples, determining vapor pressures, and providing detailed insights into the complexities of gas mixtures. The book's insights into the composition and analysis of fuel gases were crucial for understanding combustion processes and optimizing the use of these vital resources during a period of rapid industrial growth.
