2. Humidity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity

   High humidity can often have a negative effect on the capacity of chemical plants and refineries that use furnaces as part of a certain processes (e.g., steam reforming, wet sulfuric acid processes). For example, because humidity reduces ambient oxygen concentrations (dry air is typically 20.9% oxygen, but at 100% relative humidity the air is ...

3. Electrostatic discharge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_discharge

   Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a sudden and momentary flow of electric current between two differently-charged objects when brought close together or when the dielectric between them breaks down, often creating a visible spark associated with the static electricity between the objects. ESD can create spectacular electric sparks (lightning ...

4. Evaporative cooler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

   High humidity in air accelerates corrosion, particularly in the presence of dust. This can considerably reduce the life of electronics and other equipment. High humidity in air may cause condensation of water. This can be a problem for some situations (e.g., electrical equipment, computers, paper, books, old wood).

5. Moisture sensitivity level - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_sensitivity_level

   Moisture sensitivity level (MSL) is a rating that shows a device's susceptibility to damage due to absorbed moisture when subjected to reflow soldering as defined in J-STD-020. It relates to the packaging and handling precautions for some semiconductors. The MSL is an electronic standard for the time period in which a moisture sensitive device ...

6. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

   Electronic components have a wide range of failure modes. These can be classified in various ways, such as by time or cause. Failures can be caused by excess temperature, excess current or voltage, ionizing radiation, mechanical shock, stress or impact, and many other causes. In semiconductor devices, problems in the device package may cause ...

7. Triboelectric effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboelectric_effect

   The triboelectric effect (also known as triboelectricity, triboelectric charging, triboelectrification, or tribocharging) describes electric charge transfer between two objects when they contact or slide against each other. It can occur with different materials, such as the sole of a shoe on a carpet, or between two pieces of the same material.

8. Corona discharge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_discharge

   Corona discharges represent a significant power loss for electric utilities. Corona discharge from a spoon attached to the high voltage terminal of a Tesla coil. A corona discharge is an electrical discharge caused by the ionization of a fluid such as air surrounding a conductor carrying a high voltage.

9. Highly accelerated stress test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly_accelerated_stress_test

   The highly accelerated stress test (HAST) method was first proposed by Jeffrey E. Gunn, Sushil K. Malik, and Purabi M. Mazumdar of IBM. [1] The acceleration factor for elevated humidity is empirically derived to be. is a value which normally goes from 0.1 to 0.15. where RHs is the stressed humidity, RHo is the operating-environment humidity ...
