Lightning

The subsequent atomic oxygen reacts with the main constituents N2 and O2 to produce NO and O3. Ozone however easily decays back to O + O2 by electrical discharges and radiation (2.98). However, direct ozone formation by lightning 

A reaction chain follows where radical reactions (2.99 and 2.100) are rapid whereas thermal molecular reactions (2.101-2.103) are slow the radical reaction rates of (2.104) and (2.105) are slow due to less reaction probability  

This mechanism is known as Thermal NO Mechanism or Zeldovich Mechanism . The further oxidation of NO is described in Chapter 5.4.1. The range of NO formation is cited as between 0.3 and 230 Tg N yr (1-30) 10 molecules of NO per joule of input energy are produced (see citations in Lawrence et al. 1995, 

Rakov and Uman 2007). The key in estimating NO production by lightning is the flash rate distribution and the NO production per flash (Pickering et al. 2009).

The other attraction is the method itself clay, a Sears microwave oven and the most lightning-quick results ever imagined Someone sent Strike this method via fax, but dumbass Strike did not get the person s name . But you know who you are. Bra ... 

The primary advantages of mechanical scales are that they are relatively inexpensive in smaller capacities they do not need electrical power, enhancing thein portabiUty and they do not need to be protected from power line transients or lightning strikes. 

A.m blent Environment. The environment around the flow conduit must be considered in meter selection. Such factors as the ambient temperature and humidity, the pipe shock and vibration levels, the avadabiHty of electric power, and the corrosive and explosive characteristics of the environment may all influence flow meter selection. Special factors such as possible accidental flooding, the need for hosedown or steam cleaning, and the possibiHty of lightning or power transients may also need to be evaluated. 

Dinitrogen is fixed either by natural processes or by industrial ammonia (qv) production (1,8,9). The estimates for the aimual biological contribution range around 100-200 x 10 t. Industrial fixation contributes about 50 x 10 t/yr for fertilizer uses (see Fertilizers). Other processes, eg, lightning and combustion, are estimated to fix about 30 x 10 t/yr. Thus the biological process represents the majority (ca 65%) of the total aimual fixation rate, contributing about three times as much as the commercial production of fertilizer. 

Vitreous silica (silica glass) is essentially a supercooled Hquid formed by fusion and subsequent cooling of crystalline silica. It is found ia nature ia fulgerites, ie, fused bodies resulting from lightning striking quart2 sand. 

A high temperature thermocouple uses sihcon carbide (146). It is also used in lightning arrestors to protect high tension power lines, and in high loss factor microwave attenuators (147). 

Real or gray bodies deviate from these ideal blackbody values by the A-dependent emissivity, but the color sequence remains essentially the same. This mechanism explains the color of incandescent light sources such as flames in a candle, tungsten filament light bulb, flash bulb, carbon arc, limelight, lightning in part, and the incandescent part of pyrotechnics (qv). 

As another example, a fire was said to have been caused by lightning. The report acuTiitted that the grounding was faulty but did not say when it was last checked, if it was scheduled for regular inspection, if there was a specification for the resistance to earth (ground), if employees understood the need for good grounding, and so on.
