Ion Migration

To increase the ion current from the ion source is an important way to improve the performance of the electron cyclotron resonance ion thruster(ECRIT). The ion migration distance, magnetic topology and propellant have a close influence on the extracting ion beam. This influence is studied through both magnetic circuit structure calculation and experiments, by using an ion source with different gate mounting positions and magnet lengths. Experimental results show that the distribution of the ECR region will be discontinuous when the length of the magnet is too short. This will greatly reduce the performance of the ion source. To increase the length of the magnet is beneficial to the beam emission at high gas flow rate, but it reduces the beam emission at low gas flow rate. The effect of the ion migration distance on the ion beam is related to the plasma density in the ion source. When the gas flow rate is low, a longer gate mounting ring is beneficial to increase the ion current. When the gas flow rate is high, the different magnetic topology will cause the gate mounting ring which influences on the ion current. At low gas flow conditions, xenon gas can significantly improve the discharge stability of the ion source and increase the ion current. However, at high gas flow rate, the concentration effect of the neutral particles is too strong that affects the energy accumulation process of the free electrons. This would cause the decrease in the ion current.

A parametric investigation of an electrospray ion source and interface has been carried out with a focus on elemental analysis. The source and interface variables investigated were the curtain-gas flow rate and the voltage biases of the electrospray capillary tip, the front plate, the sampling plate, the skimmer, and the barrel ion extractor lens. The analytes studied (M+ and M++) included the alkali metals, the alkaline earth metals, and cobalt—all prepared in methanol (MeOH) solutions. The two most important interface parameters in terms of their effect on the nature of the resulting mass spectrum were the curtain-gas flow rate and the sampling-plate voltage bias. A minimum, but modest, flow rate of curtain gas was required in order to observe analyte ion signals, and, when combined with a low sampling-plate voltage, the observed signal species were primarily analyte ion–solvent clusters [M(MeOH) n+1 and M(MeOH) m+2]. As the values of these two parameters were increased, these species were declustered, plus-two analyte ions were reduced to plus-one species, and ultimately the mass spectra were dominated by the bare singly charged analyte ion (M+). Also, these two variables (curtain-gas flow rate and sampling-plate voltage) seem to act in a synergistic manner, with neither variable alone able to effect complete declustering and charge reduction.

Abstract The microwave breakdown power (Pwb) in an ECR plasma source was not merely determined by pressure (gas flow rate), but found to vary with the time interval between two successive breakdowns. The measured Pwb dropped rapidly from a high value at a short time interval to a low level at a long time interval. The obtained dependence of Pwb on pressure (gas flow rate) exhibited distinct features: the normal monotonicity and abnormal non-monotonicity at the short and long time intervals, respectively. The effective zone in the antenna’s surface bombarded by hot electrons heated in the ECR layer was validated by (1) masking the antenna with a film having a variable radius; (2) calculating the distribution of the vertical component of the microwave electric field with respect to the static magnetic field; (3) imaging glows of transient breakdown discharges with a fast camera. The reduction in Pwb was mainly attributed to the enhanced emission of δ-electrons from the gas-adsorbed antenna under the bombardment of energetic electrons coming from the ECR layer.. The correlation between the dynamic gas coverage and the coefficient emission of δ-electrons was established to understand the abnormal ECR breakdown features.

ABSTRACTIonic liquid (IL) ion sources with different emitter tip materials and tip numbers were developed and examined on ion beam characteristics with respect to its ILs wettability. As a result of ion current measurements, the most stable emission current was obtained for the graphite emitter tip and the ion current increased with increase of the tip number. The results indicate that the emitter wettability corresponding to the supplying flow rate and the number of emission site play an important role to stabilize and increase the beam current.

Natural gas NG consumption in industry and energy of Ukraine, in recent years falls down as a result of the crisis in the country’s economy, to a certain extent due to the introduction of renewable energy sources along with alternative technologies, while in the utility sector the consumption of fuel gas flow rate enhancing because of an increase the number of consumers. The natural gas is mostly using by domestic purpose for heating of premises and for cooking. These items of the gas utilization in Ukraine are already exceeding the NG consumption in industry. Cooking is proceeding directly in the living quarters, those usually do not meet the requirements of the Ukrainian norms DBN for the ventilation procedures. NG use in household gas stoves is of great importance from the standpoint of controlling the emissions of harmful components of combustion products along with maintenance the satisfactory energy efficiency characteristics of NG using. The main environment pollutants when burning the natural gas in gas stoves are including the nitrogen oxides NOx (to a greater extent — highly toxic NO2 component), carbon oxide CO, formaldehyde CH2O as well as hydrocarbons (unburned UHC and polyaromatic PAH). An overview of environmental documents to control CO and NOx emissions in comparison with the proper norms by USA, EU, Russian Federation, Australia and China, has been completed. The modern designs of the burners for gas stoves are considered along with defining the main characteristics: heat power, the natural gas flow rate, diameter of gas orifice, diameter and spacing the firing openings and other parameters. The modern physical and chemical principles of gas combustion by means of atmospheric ejection burners of gas cookers have been analyzed from the standpoints of combustion process stabilization and of ensuring the stability of flares. Among the factors of the firing process destabilization within the framework of analysis above mentioned, the following forms of unstable combustion/flame unstabilities have been considered: flashback, blow out or flame lifting, and the appearance of flame yellow tips.

Three simple computational techniques are proposed and employed to demonstrate the effect of fluctuating flow rate of feed on the behaviour and performance of an isothermal, continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). A fluidized bed reactor (FBR), in which a non-catalytic gas-solid reaction occurs, is also considered. The influence of amplitude and frequency of gas flow rate fluctuations on reactant concentrations at the exit of the CSTR is shown in four different situations.
