Synonyms Used in print (Raymond C. Binder et al., editors, Proceedings...)Experiments were made on an electric arc applying a porous graphite anode cooled by a transpiring gas ( Argon ) . Argon was used as a blowing_gas to exclude any effects of dissociation or chemical_reaction . Argon was also blown at low velocities ( mass flow_rate **f ) through a tube coaxial with the cathode as an additional precaution against contamination of the arc by air . The argon flow from commercial bottles was regulated by a pressure regulator and measured with a gas flow rator . The argon flow through the porous anode was varied systematically between **f .
