Gas insulation is important for transmission lines, outdoor insulators and Gas-insulated-
Substations (GIS). Understanding the breakdown mechanisms and behaviour of
insulation materials is key to the optimum design of insulation systems. The speed
distribution function of electrons in a gas containing electrons, ions and atoms is
controlled by the electric field strength, E, and can be expressed as fo (E, v). It
satisfies the relationship of (E, v) dv=1.
i)
ii)
Convert the above electron speed distribution function into an electron
energy distribution function that satisfies the relationship f(E, ɛ) dɛ =1
where & is the electron energy and ƒ(E, ɛ) the electron energy distribution
function.
The electron number density is ne and the atom number density is na in
the gas. The ionisation cross section of the atoms by electron impact is a
function of electron energy, ɛ, and can be written as σ¡ (ɛ). Similarly, the
attachment collision cross section between an electron and an…
Earth's lower atmosphere contains negative and positive ions that are produced by radioactive elements in the soil and cosmic rays from space. In a certain region, the atmospheric electric field strength is 154 V/m and the field is directed vertically down. This field causes singly charged positive ions, at a density of 802 cm-3, to drift downward and singly charged negative ions, at a density of 719 cm-3, to drift upward (see the figure). The measured conductivity of the air in that region is 2.13 × 10-14 (Ω-m)-1. Calculate (a) the magnitude of the current density and (b) the ion drift speed, assumed to be the same for positive and negative ions.
