A steady wire-to-plane electric discharge has been modeled in a prolate spheroidal coordinate system with the wire shape taken as a hyperboloid of revolution. A set of continuum conservation equations for the charged particle densities and temperatures together with Poisson’s equation for the self-consistent electric potential describe the steady electric discharge process. These equations have...

a pvc membrane electrode based on 1-[({[(butylsulfunyl)carbothioyl]disulfanyl} carbothioyl)sulfanyl]butane as a suitable ion carrier for determination of lanthanum(iii) ion was prepared. this electrode revealedsuch a good selectivity toward la3+ ion over a wide variety of other metal ions. some experimental parametersuch as membrane composition, nature, and amount of plasticizer, the amount of ...

2-amino-n-benzthioazolyl benzamide (abtb) was synthesized, characterized and used for thefabrication of a potentiometric sensor for cu2+ metal ions. the electrode exhibits linear response to cu(ii) over a wide concentration range (4.79×10 -8 – 1.85×10 -1 m) with nernstian slope of 30 ± 1.5 mvper decade. the electrode can be used in the ph range from 2 to 9. it has a fast response time of about1...

By performing an acid-base titration by coulometric generation of OHor H+ ions at an inert electrode in close proximity to the pH-sensitive gate of an ISFET, it is possible to determine the acid or base concentration of a solution using the ISFET as an indicator device for the equivalence point in the titration curve. Typical values for the titration time are 0.1 to 10 s for acid or base concen...

Predicting transient behavior of lead–acid batteries during charge and discharge process is a very important factor in many applications including Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV). In this paper, an engineering model based on fundamental chemical and electrochemical relations of lead– acid batteries is introduced. This model is capable to predict transient behavior of lead–acid batteries includin...

Long-term success of an implantable retinal prosthesis depends on the ability to hermetically seal sensitive electronics from a saline environment with an encapsulant material. Furthermore, the retinal implant project's proposed laser-driven prosthesis requires that the encapsulation material be transparent. The device itself has two components that must protrude out of the encapsulation materi...

this study presents a comparison between aluminum and iron plate electrodes on phosphate removal from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation process. the effectiveness of main operational parameters such as initial ph, initial phosphate concentration and current density were examined. in addition, treated solution and sludge characteristics, energy consumption and electrode mass depletion were...
