Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
CONT

The Intelligent Gravimetric Analyser(IGA) was initially developed for the accurate determination of hydrogen and deuterium absorption(desorption) characteristics in various storage alloys and intermetallics.... The intelligent nature of the IGA method is a pre-requisite to performing such experiments where equilibration time scales can increase by orders of magnitude during a hydride phase transition.... Semi-automatic features allow for pressure ramp and pressure cycle operations to be performed. In summary the IGA can measure capacity,..., operating pressures and can determine lifetimes using cycling studies.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • Air Pollution
  • Atmospheric Physics
CONT

Atmospheric constituents fall into two groups, those that are slowly accumulating and those that cycle between source and sink.... Whether a cycle is in equilibrium depends on how rapidly it equilibrates and on how rapidly the balance between source and sink is perturbed. A measure of the equilibration time of a cycle is the atmospheric residence time T. [The formula is :] T=M/S [, ] Where M is the global atmospheric burden and S is the global source or sink strength of a cycle at steady state.
