discharge: electrical conduction through a gas in an applied electric field
An atmospheric pressure discharge is an electrical discharge in air at atmospheric pressure.An electrical discharge is a plasma, which is an ionized gas. Plasmas are sustained if there is a continuous source of energy to maintain the required degree of ionization and overcome the recombination events that lead to extinction of the discharge. Recombination events are proportional to collisions between molecules and thus to the pressure of the gas. Atmospheric discharges are thus difficult to maintain as they require a large amount of energy.Typical atmospheric discharges are:DC arcLightningAtmospheric Pressure Glow Discharge (APGD)Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD)love.....razor
Most of the gases in air, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon and others are obtained by fractional distillation of liquid air.
Xenon normally is a colorless gas, but it emits a blue glow when excited by an electrical discharge
For example applying an electrical discharge, a very high temperature or by irradiation with ionizing radiations.
A gas discharge lamp has a gas and has a cathode, an anode, and an ignition electrode. Individual discharges of a series of lamp discharges are spaced at least one millisecond from each other, and the individual discharges are generated by providing an electrical charge between the cathode and the anode and providing two or more electrical pulses to the ignition electrode. The second and following electrical pulses occur within a predetermined time of the first pulse. The electrical charge between the cathode and anode is of sufficient voltage and current to create an electrical arc between the cathode and the anode with the gas is ionized.
Either by the current heating a fine wire until it glows in the incandescent lamp, by an electrical discharge exciting agas or flourescent material in gas-discharge and flourescent lapms respectively, or by a quantum effect in the light-emitting diode.
Oxygen is a gas at room temperature. Gold is a solid, water is a liquid, and lightning is an electrical discharge.
If it's a *Crookes* tube you're asking about, it's a discharge tube because the applied electrical field causes ionization and a resulting discharge of energy in the form (mostly) of light, depending on the gas or gases in the tube.
Carbon dioxide (gas) and water (vapor) from fat or wax (solid) and oxygen (gas, from air)
Neon is a gas so it actually can not be mined. It is actually obtained by fractional distillation of Air.
because of gas in active center Neon gas worked as Active Center for He-Ne laser.to accelerate the Ne atoms very high and efficient Pumping is required. Which can only be given by Electric Discharge Pumping.
