We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Impingement Drying of Eastman Curve Fine Grain Release Positive Safety Film, j Type 5302. 2 For satisfactory properties, final moisture 3 should fall in shaded area. Required 4 drying time is determined by intersection 5 of curves with dotted line at 50% R.H. 6 Air Temp.: 125 125 150 150 200 200 Air Velocity, fpm 2,000 4,000 2,000 4,000 2,000 4,000 the curve shape reverses, indicating a transition, and the final part of the curves are in the falling-rate phase. Calculation of these data has shown that the first part of the drying cycle is not actually at constant rate. This is not surprising because drying of the support is limited by the rate of diffusion of water through the support, which is a falling-rate type of drying. At the same time, the emulsion is probably being dried at almost constant rate. Because the amount of water being evaporated from the emulsion during this phase is so much greater than that evaporated from the support, the combination of the two approximates constant-rate drying. As the drying of the emulsion progresses, the rate at which water can migrate to the surface of evaporation becomes less than the rate at which it can be evaporated and the drying of the emulsion as well as the support is done at a falling rate.
