we report observations of stimulated electromagnetic emission (see) induced by high power high frequency (hf) radio waves near the third electron gyroharmonic (3fce) at european incoherent scatter radar (eiscat). it is discovered that stimulated brillouin scattering (sbs) spectrum behaves similarly as spectral ion line...
a stimulated emission diagnostic technique for electron temperature of the high power radio wave modified ionosphere
electromagnetic (em) and electrostatic (es) emissions can be generated in the ionosphere by high-power high-frequency (hf) radio waves transmitted from the ground. the signatures of the em emissions observed on the ground are known as stimulated electromagnetic emissions (see) and can be employed for remote measurement...
investigation of incoherent scatter radar spectra features with stimulated electromagnetic emissions at eiscat
the molten salt corrosion performance of a ni-mo-cr (gh3535) alloy weldment, produced using matching filler metal, was assessed. corrosion testing was performed in flinak molten salt at 750 °c for 500 h. present results reveal that, despite a similar chemical composition, the weld metal has somewhat superior corrosion ...
molten salt corrosion (flinak) of a ni-mo-cr alloy and its welds for application in energy-generation and energy-storage systems
this paper considers an initially networked suspension in a batch settler subjected to very slow aggregate densification. the so-called pseudo-steady state aggregate densification theory developed by van deventer (2012) has been extended to the case of initially networked suspensions. the solids behaviour and the evolu...
