Motor Alcohol Development and Present Efficiency
Shoemaker, H.I. 1929. Alcohol as a motor fuel is firmly established; planters all over Negros and Central Luzon are using it in their tractors, trucks and automobiles. Some road tests were made in Occidental Negros to compare the efficiency of motor alcohol with gasoline. Motor Alcohol Development and Present Efficiency. Sugar…
Mechanical Wear of Ties
Dr. Von Schrenk, H. 1929. Decay of wood fiber was the principal factor which made a tie unfit for further service. In early days, decay was an important factor in what was then called mechanical wear or mechanical destruction. Mechanical Wear of Ties. Sugar News 10:15-17.
Lafeuille Crystallizer-Pans at Arayat Central
Lafeuille, L. 1929. The Crystallizer-Pan installed at Arayat Central gives the possibility of saving much time and much material in the final operations of sugar fabrication. Instead of using several pans for the boiling of B massecuite, it will be quite enough to use only one pan for the preparation of the pied-de-cuite.…
Experiments in the Rapid Cooling of Low Grade Massecuite
Warren, A.H. 1929. Experiments were undertaken to demonstrate that a low grade massecuite can be cooled rapidly without the formation of false grain, that molasses of below 33 apparent purity can be obtained within 10 or 12 hours after the cooling has begun and that any low grade massecuite purges much more rapidly…
Determination of Ash of Some Philippine Raw Sugars by the Electrical Conductivity Method
Lava, B.G. and Isaac, F.G. 1929. This paper report the results of the work done on eleven samples of raw sugar representing eight Philippine sugar centrals. The object of the work was to determine the average value of the ratio between sulfated ash and the specific conductance for…
