10 Kw Per Capita, Harry A. Brown

UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy

The rate of energy use in the U.S. is discussed. Possible savings in the principal areas of use are considered. The conclusion is that significant reductions could be made in five to ten years without new technology, but are not likely under present conditions.

We have made an absolute determination of the electron attachment coefficient η (cm-1) in helium containing 0.1-1% fluorine covering an E/N range from 3Td-17Td. At an estimated average energy of 5 eV we find a rate coefficient equal to (7.5±1.5) x10-10 cm3/sec.

Using a simple time-of-flight technique, we have measured the electron drift velocity in helium with 0.1-1% fluorine additive. Our results in a 0.1% mixture are in close agreement with data in pure helium. The measured drift velocity increases with increasing fluorine concentration. © 1978, American Institute of Physics.
