Hydrogen and Helium
The giant dirigible hovers near the mooring mast and drops its landing lines to the crew on the ground. Suddenly, a sheet of fire bursts from its tail. Within minutes, the 800-ft-long craft is reduced to a tangled mass of charred wreckage; 35 people are dead, and dozens are injured. The accident is famous: the spectacular explosion of the German dirigible, Hindenburg. Less well known, however, ...
متن کاملThe Dynamics and Helium Distribution in Hydrogen-helium Fluid Planets
In the preceding paper (Paper I) we discussed the thermodynamic and microscopic transport properties of hydrogen-helium fluid mixtures. These results are used in the present paper for a semiquantitative analysis of the thermal and compositional history of an evolving hydrogenhelium planet such as Jupiter or Saturn. First, the evolution of a homogeneous planet with no first-order phase transitio...
متن کاملCryopumping of Hydrogen Amd Helium*
Cryopumping is of interest to both fusion reactors and particle accelerators since it can provide the following features: (1) very high pumping speed ever a large pressure range; (2) very low equilibrium pressure; (3) very large capacity; (4) cleanliness; (3) ability to store ehe pumped species on the cryosurface for later recovery; (6) neither high voltage nor magnetic field is required, which...
متن کاملDetecting Hydrogen in Helium Streams
Three different approaches to detecting hydrogen in helium streams were assessed: thermal conductivity, atmospheric sampling using a mass spectrometer, and permeation through a palladium/silver membrane. The thermal conductivity detection system utilized an assembly of four cells fitted with filaments wired to make a Wheatstone bridge. Pure helium flowed through two of the cells. Helium contain...
متن کاملThe Isotopic Composition of Hydrogen and Helium
The isotopes 2H and 3He have been identified in low-energy cosmic rays during solar-quiet periods from 1973 January to 1974 October. These observations, made with the Caltech Electron/ Isotope Spectrometer on IMP-7, cover the energy intervals 5-29 MeV per nucleon for 2H and 7-50 MeV per nucleon for 3He. We find that the energy spectra oflH, 2H, and 3He all fall rapidly with decreasing energy, g...
