Ion Thruster Plasma Generators 161 Solving for the perturbed electron velocity, assuming plane waves, and inserting this into Eq. (4.6-15), the perturbed current is j1 = –nee oE1 . (4.6-17) im Inserting Eq. (4.6-17) into Eq. (4.6-14) and solving for the frequency gives the dispersion relation for electromagnetic waves in a plasma: 2 = n e e 2 + c 2 k 2 = 2p + c 2 k 2 , ( 4 . 6 - 1 8 ) om where the definition of the electron plasma frequency 2p = nee2 /om has been used. This expression can be solved for the wavelength of the microwaves in the plasma = 2c = c , (4.6-19) 2p – 2 f p2 – f 2 where fp is the real plasma frequency and f is the microwave frequency. If the microwave frequency exceeds the plasma electron frequency, the wavelength becomes infinitely long and the wave becomes evanescent (it will not propagate into the plasma) and is reflected. This condition, called cutoff, determines the maximum plasma density into which a microwave source can inject power to produce the plasma. Table 4-1 shows the cutoff frequency for a range of plasma densities and the ion current density from a xenon plasma at an electron temperature of 3 eV. As an example, if the ion thruster design requires an ion Table 4-1. Cutoff frequencies for several plasma densities, and the corresponding ion current density from a xenon plasma at Te = 3 eV.

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
