Schottky Barrier Diode01:27

Schottky Barrier Diode

443
Schottky barrier diodes are specialized semiconductor devices characterized by their unique construction. This construction involves combining a metal layer with a moderately doped n-type semiconductor material. This combination leads to the formation of a Schottky barrier, a pivotal element that defines the diode's operational characteristics. The core functionality of Schottky barrier diodes is their capacity to allow current to flow in only one direction due to their distinctive...

Electrostatic Boundary Conditions in Dielectrics01:27

Electrostatic Boundary Conditions in Dielectrics

1.3K
When an electric field passes from one homogeneous medium to another, crossing the boundary between the two mediums imparts a discontinuity in the electric field. This results in electrostatic boundary conditions that depend on the type of mediums the field propagates through.
Consider a case where both the mediums across a boundary are two different dielectric materials. Recall that the electric field and electric displacement are proportional and related through the material's...

Capacitor With A Dielectric01:18

Capacitor With A Dielectric

4.0K
Parallel plate capacitors consist of two conducting plates separated by a certain distance. However, it is mechanically difficult to hold the large plates parallel to each other without actual contact. Hence, a dielectric layer is commonly placed between the plates, which provides an easy solution for holding the plates together with a small gap and increases the capacitance of the capacitor.
Dielectrics are non-conducting materials with no free or loosely bound electrons. When a dielectric is...

Dielectric Polarization in a Capacitor

4.9K
The presence of a dielectric medium in a capacitor not only changes the voltage and capacitance but also affects the electric field. In general, dielectrics can be of two types: polar and nonpolar. In a polar dielectric, the positive and negative charges in the molecules are separated by a distance and hence have a permanent dipole moment. In contrast, no such charge separation exists in a nonpolar dielectric, however the nonpolar molecules get polarized in the presence of an external electric...

Insulation Coordination01:23

Insulation Coordination

208
Insulation coordination is the process of matching electric equipment's insulation strength with protective device characteristics to protect the equipment against expected overvoltages. This selection is based on engineering judgment and cost. Equipment can generally withstand short-duration high transient overvoltages, but repeated tests with identical waveforms can yield inconsistent results. As a result, standard impulse voltage waveforms are used for testing, defined by specific times...

Capillary Electrophoresis: Applications01:30

Capillary Electrophoresis: Applications

494
Capillary electrophoretic separations offer various modes, each with unique applications. These modes include capillary zone electrophoresis, capillary gel electrophoresis, capillary array electrophoresis, capillary isoelectric focusing, capillary isotachophoresis, micellar electrokinetic chromatography, and capillary electrochromatography.
Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) separates ionic components based on their electrophoretic mobility. It has been used to separate proteins, amino acids,...

Area of Science:

  • Food science and technology
  • Plasma physics
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) offers a non-thermal alternative to traditional food processing methods for microbial inactivation.
  • Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactors, using packaging atmosphere as working gas, are a common method for generating ACP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review investigations on ACP using DBD for microbial decontamination across various food categories.
  • To assess the impact of ACP on food quality and identify challenges for industrialization.

Main Methods:

  • Review of studies utilizing DBD reactors for ACP generation.
  • Categorization of results based on food types: meats, fruits/vegetables, dairy, and cereals.
  • Analysis of microbial inactivation mechanisms and quality alteration factors.

Main Results:

  • ACP effectively reduces microbial load through reactive species diffusion.
  • Negative impacts on food quality (color, flavor, lipid oxidation) were observed.
  • Challenges include scaling plasma homogeneity and reducing quality alterations.

Conclusions:

  • ACP shows promise for food decontamination, but quality and scalability issues need addressing.
  • Combining DBD with other non-thermal technologies can enhance food safety and quality.
  • Efficacy is influenced by technological parameters and intrinsic food properties.
