...official can be a presidential candidate. Last week Candidate Cardenas not only did nothing but, anxious above all to retain his reputation as a loyal henchman of Boss Calles, he left the Convention as soon as he was nominated, retired to disport himself harmlessly in Aguascalientes, famous for its thermal baths...
Technocracy presumes that all the wealth and functions of Society can be calculated in terms of energy unity?British Thermal Units, kilogramme calories, joules, ergs, footpounds, horsepower. Upon that presumption was started the "Energy Survey of North America," in which one man's time for eight hours is considered equal to 1,500,000 footpounds. Technocracy headquarters, which now has few cartographers at work, has energy charts of about 50 U. S. industries ready for display, talks about 300 charts too significant for revelation, promises 3,000 charts eventually...
Conducting research in heat transfer, Mr. F. Downie-Smith is working in Dunbar Laboratory of the Engineering School with a specially constructed apparatus for determining thermal conductivity. This work is the direct result of a demand made by the oil refining industry for reliable information concerning rates of heat transfer...
...flow. All of those influences are to be studied in this research, and it is hoped that ultimately it will be possible to predict rates of heat transfer from values of simple properties of the fluid which can be measured with ordinary laboratory apparatus, such as density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and the like...
...desire for correlating the experimentally determined heat transfer rates with these various properties of the fluid makes it necessary that these properties be determined for the fluids used in the test apparatus. Mr. Smith has therefore set up an apparatus originally designed by Professor Bridgman for determining thermal conductivity. An apparatus for measuring specific heats was set up last year by another graduate student. The laboratories already had apparatus for viscosity, specific gravity, and the like...
