  2. Argon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argon

    Argon has several desirable properties: Argon is a chemically inert gas. Argon is the cheapest alternative when nitrogen is not sufficiently inert. Argon has low thermal conductivity. Argon has electronic properties (ionization and/or the emission spectrum) desirable for some applications.

  3. Inert gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inert_gas

    The flue gas system uses the boiler exhaust as its source, so it is important that the fuel/air ratio in the boiler burners is properly regulated to ensure that high-quality inert gases are produced. Too much air would result in an oxygen content exceeding 5%, and too much fuel oil would result in the carryover of dangerous hydrocarbon gas.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_gas

    For instance, argon, krypton, and xenon form clathrates with hydroquinone, but helium and neon do not because they are too small or insufficiently polarizable to be retained. [61] Neon, argon, krypton, and xenon also form clathrate hydrates, where the noble gas is trapped in ice. [62] An endohedral fullerene compound containing a noble gas atom

    Solid argon-hydrogen clathrate (Ar(H 2) 2) has the same crystal structure as the MgZn 2 Laves phase. It forms at pressures between 4.3 and 220 GPa, though Raman measurements suggest that the H 2 molecules in Ar(H 2) 2 dissociate above 175 GPa. A similar Kr(H 2) 4 solid forms at pressures above 5 GPa. It has a face-centered cubic structure where ...

  6. Dielectric gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_gas

    For high voltage applications, a good dielectric gas should have high dielectric strength, high thermal stability and chemical inertness against the construction materials used, non-flammability and low toxicity, low boiling point, good heat transfer properties, and low cost. [1] The most common dielectric gas is air, due to its ubiquity and ...

    The HPD is responsible for enforcing housing code in private properties, while NYCHA's environmental unit handles lead abatement in its 178,000 apartments across the city. NYCHA is currently under investigation by the U.S. attorney, who is demanding the release of records related to dangerous lead paint conditions in public housing.

    Drifting smoke particles indicate the movement of the surrounding gas.. Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter.The others are solid, liquid, and plasma. [1] A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).
