Synonyms Examples "Transplant the young rice plants" Used in print (Raymond C. Binder et al., editors, Proceedings...)Thus , the energy transferred from the arc to the anode was partly fed back into the arc . In free_burning electric arcs , for_instance , approximately 90 % of the total arc power is transferred to the anode giving_rise to local heat fluxes in excess of **f as measured by the authors - the exact value depending_on the arc atmosphere . In plasma generators as currently commercially available for industrial use or as high_temperature research tools often more than 50 % of the total energy input is being transferred to the cooling medium of the anode . Feed_back of the energy transferred to the anode by applying gas transpiration through the anode . Gas injection through a porous anode ( transpiration cooling ) not_only feeds_back the energy transferred to the anode by the above mentioned processes , but also modifies the conditions in the arc itself .
