Abstract
A dilatometer was constructed for studying the formation of ethylene oxide hydrate. In unstirred, congruent solutions heat transfer appeared to be the significant rate-controlling factor. Initial hydrate formation rates were independent of stirring at speeds greater than approximately 100 r.p.m. Magnetic stirring was inadequate due to hydrate build-up on the walls of the dilatometer bulb. Mechanical stirring eliminated this build-up and gave satisfactory results.
