Title: Improvements in and relating to combustion chambers for internal combustion engines
IPC: F02B23/06
Filed: 1939-06-13
Abstract: 534,688. Oil engines. HOPKINS, V. H. F., and ARMSTRONG WHITWORTH SECURITIES CO., Ltd. June 13, 1939, No. 17311. (Class (iii)] In an engine having a combustion chamber 15 formed by an open, part-spherical cavity in the engine piston, fuel is injected by one or more nozzles 20 from the side of the cylinder or cylinder head directly into the chamber and in the general direction of movement of the air which is in whirling motion, the direction of the fuel spray being such as to cut the horizontal diameter d of the chamber at a distance of between .175d and .375d from one end, and the the vertical axis h of the chamber at a distance of between .2h and .5h from the bottom. The lower face 16 of the exhaust valve 10 forming one boundary of the chamber, may be concave. The ratio of the height h to the diameter d is preferably between 1:2.5 and 1:1.5. Swirling motion is imparted to the entering air by a tangential arrangement of the air-inlet ports in the cylinder liner and by deflector vanes or suitably shaped passages cast in the cylinder block. The fuel is injected through a groove 22 in the piston and the outer face 18 of the piston and the corresponding face 19 of the cylinder head 11 may be upwardly inclined to direct the entering air upwards and to facilitate the whirling motion. The nozzle 20 may furnish two sprays, directed so as to cut the axis h at about 0.25h and 0.45h from the bottom, the two sprays being coincident in plan. The chamber 15 may be of heat-retaining material partly insulated from the remainder of the piston, for example a steel combustion chamber secured to an aluminium piston. In a twostroke opposed-piston engine with pistoncontrolled inlet and exhaust ports, the combustion chamber is formed by a cavity or cavities in the head of one or both pistons. The Provisional Specification states that the cavity in the piston may be of part-spheroidal, paraboloidal or other shape.

One vibrator only may be used and it may be mounted on a cylinder internal or external of support 2 or it may be fixed above the support 2. Fig. 8. The material may be fed at 11 into the bottom of hollow helical tube 1 and ascend to the top thereof and then descend to the bottom through inner helical tube 1b, the movement in both cases being caused by vibrations to the tubes. Alternatively, the material may be fed in at the top of the inner tube, descend to the bottom thereof and then ascend up the outer tube, the material being treated (e.g. by heat, cold, gas, liquid, vacuum) as it is thus conveyed. Fig. 10. The conveyer path may be a helix formed on vibrating table 12, the material being elevated and then falling at 13 back to where it started or on to a further helicoidal path. Fig. 22. The vibrator has coils 5 and is fixed to the base at 9, the armature 7 being mounted on spring 10 and fixed at 8 to the said support 2 carrying the conveyer channel 1.

Patent GB-808294-A (GB)
Title: Improved process for the preparation of alkyl and cycloalkyl nitrates
Inventor: SPAETH CHARLES PHILIP
IPC: C07C201/02
Filed: 1956-06-06
Abstract: Alkyl or cycloalkyl nitrates are prepared by introducing at least one primary or secondary monohydric aliphatic alcohol, or secondary monohydric cycloaliphatic alcohol, wherein said alcohol contains less than nine carbon atoms, into a reaction medium comprising from 15 to 50 per cent by weight sulphuric acid, 10 to 30 per cent by weight nitric acid, 30 to 50 per cent by weight water and at least 1 per cent, preferably 1 to 10 per cent, by weight urea, said medium being maintained at a temperature between 65 DEG  and 110 DEG  C.  The alkyl or cycloalkyl nitrate may be separated from the reaction mixture by distillation, by settling and withdrawal of the alkyl nitrate layer, by centrifuging or by solvent extraction.  The process may be operated batchwise or continuously and in the latter case nitric acid and water are introduced concurrently with the alcohol at such a rate as to maintain the nitric acid-water ratio of the reaction medium substantially constant.  The process is most effective with alcohols having no more than 8 carbon atoms, suitable alcohols being ethanol, n-propanol, iso-propanol, mixed pentanols, cyclohexanol and 2-octanol.  Detailed examples illustrate the nitration of the above-mentioned alcohols with varying temperatures and concentrations of nitration mixture.
