Abstract
DURING recent work in these Laboratories on the resistance of metals to boiling organic liquids, an investigation of various methods of heating has been carried out. We have found that much higher solution-rates are obtained when the heat of vaporization is supplied through the surface of the test piece than when the liquids are heated in the usual way by gas flames applied to the glass apparatus.
