Radiation: Applications01:17

Radiation: Applications

The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Physical Methods for Controlling Microbial Growth: Radiation and Filtration

Radiation and filtration are essential tools for microbial control, targeting microorganisms through distinct mechanisms. Radiation eliminates microbes by damaging their DNA, either killing them or inhibiting their growth. Based on wavelength, radiation is classified into two types: nonionizing and ionizing radiation.Non-ionizing radiation, such as UV radiation (200–400 nm), is absorbed by DNA, causing defects that effectively disinfect surfaces, air, and water, including safety cabinets.
Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Principle01:19

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Principle

Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the most widely used plasma source in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), also known as Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The ICP source, or torch, consists of three concentric quartz tubes with argon gas flowing through them. A spark from a Tesla coil initiates the ionization of argon, generating a high-temperature plasma.
The ions and electrons produced interact with the fluctuating magnetic field created by a water-cooled...
Cancer Therapies02:49

Cancer Therapies

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Area of Science:

  • Plasma Physics
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Radio-frequency (rf) plasma sources offer diverse applications.
  • Dissociating water vapor is a key method for hydrogen production.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the use of a magnetically enhanced rf plasma source for water vapor dissociation.
  • Characterize plasma properties and hydrogen production efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a rf plasma source operating on water vapor.
  • Employed Langmuir probe, residual gas analyzer, and spectrometer for plasma characterization.
  • Measured hydrogen production with and without an applied axial magnetic field.

Main Results:

  • Water vapor plasma exhibited significantly lower ion and electron densities compared to argon plasma.
  • Electron temperature ranged from 1.5 to 4 eV.
  • Hydrogen production increased linearly with rf power without a magnetic field, but saturated with it applied, peaking at 500 W.

Conclusions:

  • The rf plasma source effectively dissociates water vapor for hydrogen production.
  • An applied axial magnetic field significantly enhances hydrogen yield.
  • Attachment and dissociative attachment processes are present in electronegative water vapor plasma.
