Subject high field conduction

The principle is basically that used by Patterson many years ago for a high field conductance study of aqueous CO2 solutions. What was done was to take the weak electrolyte and subject it to a short pulse of high electric field. In such a solution the second Wien effect... 

With a view to studying high field conduction in liquids, the point-to-plane geometry has been widely employed. The pioneering work on the subject by Halpern and Comer (1969) has highlighted the importance of electronic-field emission at the cathode, and liquid-field ionization at the anode. Some common features characterize high field DC conduction ... 

From the foregoing discussion of electric field effects In Ionic equlibria It Is clear that a solution of a weak electrolyte shows a non-linear behavior In conductance (or resistance) at high field strengths. With an Interdisciplinary look at the field of electronics we note that such nonlinearities are at the heart of all modern electronic circuits and devices. We therefore can use a solution of a weak electrolyte subjects to high electric fields as an electronic device, which Is the basic Idea of the Field Modulation Tecnnlque, the general principles we will discuss now. 

The small-spiral-large-sbaft type (Fig. ll-60b) is inserted in a solids-product line as pipe banks are in a fluid line, solely as a heat-transfer device. It features a thin burden ring carried at a high rotative speed and subjected to two-sided conductance to yield an estimated heat-transfer coefficient of 285 W/(m °C) [50 Btu/(h fU °F)], thereby ranking thermally next to the sheU-fluidizer type. This device for powdered solids is comparable with the Votator ol the fluid field.
