THE DETERMINATION OF THE POWER FACTOR OF A HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE. Final Report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4327177
The power factor of a high frequency electrical discharge in air tor a range of 3.5-4.5 mc and 0-250 mm Hg pressure has been measured. A chain mechanism has been proposed to account for the fixation of nitrogen in a high frequency discharge. A biased random walk problem of an electron travelling through a gas in an a-c field has been programmed and solved with an IBM 650 machine calculator. An interpretation of the abnormal distribution of kinetic energies obtained in the random walk problem has been given in terms of nonuniform sampling of the collision population. (auth)
