Ion Thruster Plasma Generators 135 Using Eqs. (4.3-7), (4.3-2), and (4.3-17) for each of the three currents, and dividing by the beam current in Eq. (4.3-50), Eq. (4.3-61) becomes 1 8kTe1/2 1 npvpAp 2nevaAasfc Id 4 m neAa –e/kT e+1 I = 1 b neva AsTs 1 2M1/2 Aa . (4.3-62) (4.3-63) By inspection of Eq. (4.3-63), it is clear that as the anode area Aa decreases, the plasma potential also decreases. If the anode area is made too small, then the plasma potential will go negative relative to the anode potential. This is called a positive-going (or “electron accelerating”) anode sheath, and is illustrated in Fig. 4-22. In this case, the anode area at the cusps is insufficient to collect the total discharge current by collection of the entire incident random electron flux over the cusp area. The plasma then biases itself to pull in electrons in the Maxwellian distribution that are not initially headed toward the anode, which delivers more current to satisfy the discharge current and charge balance requirements. The plasma electron current collected by the anode then becomes exp 222 neva AsTs Solving for the plasma potential gives kT m AT = eln ss . e Id + Aas fc – 2npvpAp Ib AsTs nevaAsTs neva AsTs Cathode Hollow Cathode φ Vd Anode Fig. 4-22.

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
