  2. Argon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argon

    Ar contamination. Most of the argon in Earth's atmosphere was produced by electron capture of long-lived 40 K (40 K + e − → 40 Ar + ν) present in natural potassium within Earth. The 39 Ar activity in the atmosphere is maintained by cosmogenic production through the knockout reaction 40 Ar (n,2n) 39 Ar and similar reactions. The half-life of 39

    However there are numerous exceptions; for example the lightest exception is chromium, which would be predicted to have the configuration 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 3d 4 4s 2, written as [Ar] 3d 4 4s 2, but whose actual configuration given in the table below is [Ar] 3d 5 4s 1.

  5. Closed-cycle gas turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-cycle_gas_turbine

    ~ mechanical load, e.g. electric generator. A closed-cycle gas turbine is a turbine that uses a gas (e.g. air, nitrogen, helium, argon, [1] [2] etc.) for the working fluid as part of a closed thermodynamic system. Heat is supplied from an external source. [3] Such recirculating turbines follow the Brayton cycle. [4] [5]

  6. Paschen's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschen's_law

    The composition of the gas determines both the minimal arc voltage and the distance at which it occurs. For argon, the minimal arc voltage is 137 V at a larger 12 μm. For sulfur dioxide, the minimal arc voltage is 457 V at only 4.4 μm.

  7. Capability curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_curve

    Due to high cost of a generator, a set of sensors and limiters will trigger the alarm when the generator approaches the capability-set boundary and, if no action is taken by the operator, will disconnect the generator from the grid. [3] D-curve expands with cooling. The D-curve for a particular generator can be expanded by improved cooling.

  8. Argonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argonium

    Argonium (also called the argon hydride cation, the hydridoargon(1+) ion, or protonated argon; chemical formula ArH +) is a cation combining a proton and an argon atom. It can be made in an electric discharge , and was the first noble gas molecular ion to be found in interstellar space.

  9. Radioisotope thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope...

    Diagram of an RTG used on the Cassini probe. A radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG, RITEG), sometimes referred to as a radioisotope power system (RPS), is a type of nuclear battery that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect.
