Power discharge

Emissive power The total radiative power discharged from the surface of a fire per unit area (also referred to as surface-emissive power). 

To answer Willard s question about which is better, a single powerful discharge or a sustained spark, I would recommend a quick blast versus a sustained charge that will heat up the plugs too much and because the actual discharge time in the cylinder is very short due to engine RPMs. 

Nakagawa et al. [55] reported their investigations into the reduction of C02 using a pulse power discharge, a discharge phenomenon which was similar to the pulse-... 

Analytical glow discharges have conventionally operated with a constant negative dc potential applied to the cathode. There is no reason, however, that they can t be operated through the application of a pulsed potential, an applied rf potential, or a positive potential applied to the cathode. Many variations have been tried alone and in combination with one another. Perhaps the most interesting among these (because of the unique capabilities that it provides) is the radio-frequency-powered discharge. The analysis of nonconductors is covered extensively in a later chapter, but a brief overview is in order here. 

Using this armor combination, the erosion lifetime of the plasma facing components is expected to meet the goal of sustaining 3,000 full-power discharges of 400 s duration, with about one in ten discharges ending in a disruption.

N( D), and N( P) states and assuming that the ionization cross-section curves for atoms in these states were identical in shape. For convenience in calculation, the atomic ionization probability fimctions were assmned to be linear. The dashed curve represents the contribution of N( S) ionization to the total ion current. The relative concentrations of N atoms in the S, D, and states are estimated from this analysis to be in the ratio 1.00 to 0.17 to 0.06. The excited atoms were not observed except within a millisecond or so after leaving the discharge, presumably because they diffuse to the walls of the reactor and are destroyed there. Metastable N atoms have also been obtained from a high power discharge in pure N2, although in this case the concentrations of N( D) and N( P) relative to N( S) were lower than those obtained in the N2-He mixture by a factor of about 25.

The discharge mode of Ni-Cd batteries is dependent on their applications. The most common one is the constant-current discharge, in which the current can be changed from very low (e.g., in the case of button-batteries) to very large (e.g., for batteries for wireless tools). There are also other discharge modes, such as constant-resistance discharge, content-power discharge, etc. 

Table I. Condensable Products from Toluene Vapor in a 3 KMHz. Powered Discharge...

A summary of the condensable products formed in the RF. powered discharge is presented in Table II. It should be noted that these results are normalized to exclude recovered toluene. Non-condensable gases and polymeric materials in combination accounted for 6 to 16% of the original toluene vapor. The amount of polymer formed was found to vary, unaccountably over a wide range. 

The formation of substantial amounts of dimer biaryls bibenzyl, diphenylmethane and biphenyl is of particular significance since, as noted above, the formation of only trace amounts of these dimer biaryls was observed in the microwave discharge. Additional experiments were conducted in which a helium carrier gas was used, and no substantial difference in the nature and amounts of products formed was noted. The change in product ratios, therefore, appears to reflect a change in mechanism which results from the use of an RF. powered discharge. 

It should also be noted that the visible emission spectrum which is shown in Figure 4 was obtained from the 28 MHz. toluene discharge. This spectrum is similar to that which Schuler had previously observed from electrode toluene discharges and assigned to the benzyl radical. Its presence adds additional support to the view that this radical is a major intermediate in the electrodeless radiofrequency powered discharge. 

The different products and intermediates formed in this work as contrasted to Streitwieser and Ward s study indicates that significant differences are to be anticipated between RF. and microwave powered discharges and unequivocally establish the importance of radical intermediates in the formation of condensable products in the toluene RF. discharge. The formation of polymeric products via a different mechanism demonstrates that no single mechanism can account for all of the materials formed in this discharge. The hazards involved in the generalization of data obtained in a specific type of discharge are readily apparent from the observations.

A problem with Debye theory and the use of ideal components in the equivalent circuits has been that most dielectrics actually do not follow an exponential discharge curve, but a fractional power discharge curve. This law is called the Curie — von Schweidler s law (Schweidler, 1907). We shall revert to this phenomenon later in Section 9.2.12. 

The F2 laser lithography will be the last laser lithography for mass production because there are no high-power discharge-pumped lasers with shorter wavelength.
