Neon Solubility in Liquid Sodium

40 K Liquid Neon Energy Storage Unit

A thermal Energy Storage Unit (ESU) could be used to attenuate inherent temperature fluctuations of a cold finger, either from a cryocooler working or due to suddenly incoming heat bursts. An ESU directly coupled to the cold source acts as a thermal buffer temporarily increasing its cooling capacity and providing a better thermal stability of the cold finger (“Power Booster mode”). The energy s...

Dynamics of Excess Electron Localization in Liquid Helium and Neon

In this paper, we address the relations between the structure, electronic level structure, energetics, and localization dynamics of an excess electron in a bubble in liquid 4He, 3He, and Ne. Our treatment of the dynamics of formation for the electron bubble rests on a quantum mechanical Wigner-Seitz description of the excess electron in conjunction with a hydrodynamic picture for the liquid. Th...

The solubility of neon, nitrogen and argon in distilled water and seawater

Large discrepancies in published neon and nitrogen solubility data limit the interpretation of oceanic measurements of these gases. We present new solubility measurements for neon, nitrogen and argon in distilled water and seawater, over a temperature range of 1–30 oC. Water was equilibrated with air at measured temperatures, salinities and pressures. Dissolved Ne concentrations were then deter...

Solubility Limits of Major Salts in Sodium Chloride Solutions

The solubility limit data of salts are typically measured in distilled water and not in saline or salt-laden solutions. So, the current study was initiated to measure the solubility limit of major salts in different concentration of NaCl solutions and was compared to the solubility limit of the same salt to that in real seawater solution. A major finding from the experimental results was that t...
