Mr. Bird Lectures

Mr. Eyring will be followed by
Mr. Bird, who will discuss "Macromolecular
Hydrodynamics." Mr.
Bird is the author of two books on
molecular theory of gases and
liquids and transport phenomena.

Some fluids exhibit strange flow
characteristics when poured, such
as elasticity, stress relaxation, and
recoil that simple liquids do not
possess. In general two classes of
models will be considered by Mr.
Bird.

Mr. Pings talk, entitled "Structure
of Simple Liquids," is scheduled
for Friday afternoon. He is a
noted authority in the fields of
chemical thermodynamics and liquid
state theory.

A discussion period will follow
the talks. Scientists and engineers
from Canada, Mexico, and all areas
of the United States will attend the,
symposium.
