[ noun ] (chemistry) used as a lubricant and as a moderator in nuclear reactors
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 ) . The anode material was porous graphite . The anode consisted_of a 1/2 inch diameter porous graphite plug , 1/4 inch long . The graphite was National_Carbon_NC 60 , which has a porosity of 50 % and an average pore size of 30 This small pore size was required to ensure uniformity of the flow leaving the anode . The lower_limit was determined by the fact that for smaller flow_rates the arc started to strike to the anode holder instead of to the porous graphite plug and that it became highly unstable . |
