Synthesis and Investigation of Electrical Properties of Nanopowders Produced by Spark Erosion of Silver Electrodes in the Air
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis parameters and results of investigation of electrical properties of nanopowders produced by a spark erosion of silver electrodes in the air are presented. The powders are composed mostly of metallic silver (52.9 wt. %) and silver nitrate (46.5 wt. %) particles with the size less than 50 nm as determined from the transmission electron microscopy images and their specific surface area is ranging from 4 to 11 m2/g. The powder production rate is estimated at 0.4 g/h. The corresponding particulate films demonstrated the ultimate resistivity of 3∙10–4 W∙cm at room temperature.

متن کاملEffect of electrode erosion on the required ignition voltage of spark plug in CNG spark ignition engine
In this article, the electrode erosion and the gap growth of spark plugs were measured on of a CNG fueled engine after durability tests. Then, the required ignition voltage and the spark quality were investigated by a spark plug test rig. Considering results of measurements, the gap growth increased as the running time increased. Thus, the gap growth of spark plugs with 200 and 280 hours runnin...
