Would you clarify how the injection of hydrogen or water vapour was carried out?

R. J. PULHAM

Hydrogen or water vapour from a reservoir is admitted to the evacuated reaction vessel (ref, 1) by rapidly opening and closing the admitt ance valve. The amount which has been admitt ed is calculated from PVT data on the reservoir. Pressure changes within the reaction vessel, the volume of which was also known, were measured immediately the valve was closed.

1. What was the quantity of sodium in the vessel?

2. Did you detect any disturbance in the flowing sodium through the pump?
