Examples of conductivity

conductivity
This is possible if the jet velocity is too high or if the target has very high conductivity.
The main conclusion is that for the system under consideration the existence of equilibria depends crucially on the spatial dependence of the conductivity.
These effects are predicted to play a fundamental role, depending on material conductivity, and even to be the major limiting factor in fast electron propagation.
To compare the numerical results with experiments, experimentally observed current, and conductivity profiles are used for the energy input into the plasma.
Indeed, all these profiles were close together due to the high thermal conductivity of copper.
The problem with an irregular bead fill is that the permeability and the thermal conductivity are both affected by the packing density.
Conductivity measurements of local density were made in addition to velocity measurements.
The trend of the non-equilibrium conductivity results at 10 cm channel pressure followed this modified theory, but individual values were consistently below it.
This voltage is displayed on an oscilloscopetrace and the analysis of this trace, together with a calibration experiment, enables the electrical conductivity to be calculated.
A minimum in the curve of electrical conductivity is found and some physical evidence for its appearance is produced.
Since thermal issues have not been examine, the conductivity of tantalum has been chosen about the melting temperature of the material.
A weak growth of temperature is due to the heat conductivity of foam in the transversal direction.
Percentage leakage was determined as the highest conductivity before boiling as a fraction of the highest conductivity after boiling.
In this temperature range, it decreases due to quantum-mechanical effects, although the obtained conductivity values are still compatible with our results.
