Hot Spots and Heterogeneous Kinetics

50° mm ). The author has sho vn that these hot spots or areas could induce localized reaction rate enhancement [145]. These results have sho vn that a very small density of superheating areas is sufficient to induce a consequent rate enhancement (2% of hot spots are sufficient to increase yield by 60%), even if their effects on averaged temperatures are not detectable.

patent 2,123,728. This patent is based on an earlier German application, filed in 1935 and described that year in Hollmann s book, Physik und Technik der Ultrakurzen Wellen, Erster band (Physics and Technology of Ultrashort Waves). This classic reference had much more influence on wartime technological developments in the UK, and the UDS than in Germany.
