Click For Summary
Ionized gas, or plasma, can transfer significant energy, particularly when accelerated electrons and ions interact at high energy levels. The maximum temperature achievable through ionization depends on various factors, including the type of gas and the energy applied. Ionization creates positive ions and free electrons, with an average energy requirement of 30–40 eV to form an ion pair. The discussion highlights the complexity of quantifying heat energy output from ionized gases, suggesting that the original question may be too vague for a precise answer. Understanding these dynamics is essential for applications involving ionized gases.
A candle carousel is a popular holiday time trinket that uses wooden if light metal vanes to rotate and assembly by using the heat created by burning a candle directly underneath. It occurred to me that this is a simple, albeit very inefficient heat engine. It resembles a rudimentary gas turbine in operation. I wondered what thermal cycle would best describe its operation.
Since it resembles a gas turbine, the Brayton thermal cycle would seem to best describe it, however the...
