Title: A process and apparatus for the separation of droplets of one liquid from a second liquid which is immiscible with the first
IPC: B01D17/04
Filed: 1966-08-04
Abstract: A dispersion of one liquid in another is separated by inducing the dispersed phase to coalesce by passing the liquids through a bed of fibres, in which the average fibre cross-sectional area increases in the direction of flow, and then into a settling chamber or centrifuge.  The direction of flow through the bed is downwards or upwards when the dispersed phase has respectively a higher and a lower density than the continuous phase.  Successive layers of loose or felted fibres may have average fibre diameters of 5, 15, 50, 200, 1000 microns and may be located in one vertical column or in separate columns with intermediate settling stages. Weighted grids may hold beds in place, or beds may be packed between grids bolted together. The fibres should be wetted by the continuous phase, suitable hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibres being polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene and glass, metal and slag wool.  Numerical details of flow rates, bed thicknesses and free volumes, fibre dimensions and molecular weights of the fibre materials are given. Fibres may have surface layers of suitable hydrophobic or hydrophilic materials.

Title: Improvements in or relating to combustion chambers of internal combustion engines
IPC: F02B23/08
Filed: 1930-11-21
Abstract: 373,991. Cylinders. WHATMOUGH, W. A., 3, Norman Court, Station Road, New Barnet, Hertfordshire. Nov. 21, 1930, No. 35159. [Class 7 (ii).] The combustion chambers described in Specifications 303,592, 319,810, 329,340, [all in Class 7 (ii), Internalcombustion engines; Arrangement &c. of], and 349,460, are improved by forming a large area 5 of the cylinder head which is approached by the piston, with minimum clearance, and by limiting the mouth 10 of the chamber to an area which is equal to, or only slightly larger than, the port area 2 ; restriction to the flow of gases into and out of the combustion chamber is thus reduced to a minimum. The side walls of the chamber may converge towards the cylinder, or be parallel, or they may form a passage which is oblique to the cylinder axis. The inlet and exhaust valves may both be at the side as shown; alternatively the inlet valve may be overhead. In the latter case this valve may be surrounded by a part of the head, which has twice the clearance of the remainder of the area 5, this clearance being about # inch. Specifications 148,046, 262,813, 280,544, 299,770 and 322,335, [all in Class 7 (ii), Internal-combustion engines, Arrangement &c. of], are also referred to. The Provisional Specification describes a combustion chamber which is connected to the cylinder by a passage overlapped by a piston having a rounded edge ; this passage slopes downwards towards the crank shaft and the cylinder roof may have the same inclination, the piston face being formed to produce a tapering clearance space. The inner wall, on which the valve seats are formed, may also slope downwards and be formed by slotting the cylinder block. If an inlet valve is overhead, an extra clearance may be formed around it by a depression in the piston face.
