Ion Thruster Accelerator Grids 231 The maximum aperture current is obtained using the definition of beam flatness, which is given as fb Average current density = Iaperture . (5.6-8) Peak current density I max The published value of NSTAR beam flatness from Polk [30] is 0.47. Using Eqs. (5.6-6), (5.6-7), and (5.6-8), the maximum current per aperture is 2.5 10–4 A. Charge exchange ions that can hit the accel grid are generated in between the screen grid exit and the accel grid exit. The distance d between the screen grid exit and the accel grid exit is about 1.12 mm [4]. The charge exchange ion current to the central aperture barrel is then I =Imax n d=1.4106[A]. (5.6-9) CEX aperture o CEX The CEX-2D computer code simulations [4] show that charge exchange ions hit the accelerator grid with about three-tenths of the beam potential. For NSTAR, the beam potential is 1100 V; thus, the average charge exchange ion energy is about 330 V. Using the curve fit in reference [4] for sputtering yield Y, the aperture atom sputter rate is obtained: nsputter = ICEX Y 3.5 1012 [particles/s]. (5.6-10) e This atom sputtering rate can be used to find an initial wall erosion rate by first calculating the volumetric erosion rate: Vaperture = nsputter , (5.6-11) Mo M M o where the density of molybdenum is Mo = 1.03 104 and the mass of molybdenum is M Mo = 95.94 AMU = 1.6 10–25 kg. The volumetric erosion rate from Eq. (5.6-11) is then Vaperture = nsputter = 3.5 1012 5.5 1017 [m3/s]. (5.6-12) Mo 1.03104 aperture mMo 1.6 1025

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
