Numerical results show that the dependence of drift velocity of the spiral tip on dc electric field is similar to experimental observations in BZ system. When an ac electric field is applied, interesting resonant-drift phenomenon is observed with ω=2ω0. All results can be explained analytically using a proximate method.展开更多

In the light of superposition between the poloidal velocity of charged particles and the E × B drift caused by the negative radial electric field, the paper offers a theoretical analysis and value simulations. Under the action of different radial electric fields, results have been obtained in regard to changes in the velocity of charged particles (mainly ions), patterns of changes in drift displacement, regional change of banana particles, and features of transition and change between trajectories of transiting particles and banana particles.展开更多

Second, the electrodes are struck and the burn-back phenomenon takes place. Usually, the silver ribbon is enclosed inside a cavity filled with silica sand. During the vaporization of the fuse element, one can consider that the volume is fixed so that the pressure increase appears to reach pressures higher than atmospheric pressure. Thus, in this paper two pressures, 1 atm and 10 atm, are considered. The electrical field inside the plasma can reach high values since the distance between the cathode surface and the anode surface varies with time. That is to say from zero cm to one cm order. So we consider various electrical fields: 102 V/m, 103 V/m, 5×103 V/m, 104 V/m at atmospheric pressure and 105 V/m at a pressure of 10 atm. This study is made in heavy species temperature range from 2,400 K to 10,000 K. To study the plasma created inside the electric fuse, we first need to determine some characteristics in order to justify some hypotheses. That is to say: are the classical approximations of the thermal plasmas physics justified? In other words: plasma frequency, the ideality of the plasma, the Debye-Hückel approximation and the drift velocity versus thermal velocity. These characteristics and assumptions are discussed and commented on in this paper. Then, an evaluation of non-thermal equilibrium versus considered electrical fields is given. Finally, considering the high mobility of electrons, we evaluate the electrical conductivities.展开更多

When electric field was applied, the catalytic combustion performance of Pd/Co_3O_4 catalysts was greatly improved, and the application of electric field could reduce the load of active element Pd to some extent while maintaining the same efficiency. Based on experimental tests and the analysis results of X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), H2-temperature-programmed reduction(H2-TPR) and in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy(in-situ DRIFTS), the mechanism of catalytic oxidation of CH_4 over Pd/Co_3O_4 catalysts in electric field was proposed. The catalytic combustion of CH_4 occurs only when the temperature is higher than 250?C normally, but when electric field was applied, the whole process of CH_4 oxidation was promoted significantly and the reaction temperature was reduced. Electric field could promote the reduction of the support Co_3O_4 to release the lattice oxygen, resulting in the increase of PdOxand the surface chemisorbed oxygen, which could provide more active sites for the low-temperature oxidation of CH_4. Furthermore, electric field could accelerate the dehydroxylation of CoOOH to further enhance the activity of the catalysts.展开更多
