Abstract: | The article presents the results of experimental studies on the determination of the characteristics of the process of absorption of large specific electrical energy densities in a wide range of pressures (0.1–0.5 atm CO2?2N2?0.5H2). The presence of limitations (E0/p ≥45 V/cm · torr, Q/p=? 1 J/cm3 · atm) which are responsible for the region of existence of a diffusional discharge was established, which made it possible to determine the relationship between the limiting electrical energy density which can be absorbed in the discharge, the initial parameters of the system, and the amount of radiated energy. |
