| Title: |
The NOL ballistic piston compressor 2: Operation up to 5,000 ATM
|
| Author(s): |
Hammond, G. L.; Lalos, G. T.
|
| Abstract: |
Experiments are described which demonstrated the feasibility of rapidly compressing inert gases in a ballistic piston compressor to simultaneously high temperatures and densities previously unobtainable in the laboratory. With argon, temperatures of the order of 6000 K and accompanying densities of the order of 100 Amagats have been obtained; and with nitrogen, temperatures and densities of 3000 K and 400 Amagats have been approached. Details of the design, assembly, instrumentation, and operating procedures are presented, and the results of mechanical and thermal performance tests up to 5000 atmospheres pressure are described. Emphasis is placed on experiments which demonstrated the usefulness of this apparatus for spectral line broadening studies.
