Print on Demand. This book records the results of an investigation into the behavior of high voltage electrical discharges in various liquids and compressed gases, with the aim of gaining insights into the phenomena observed in temporary stars. The author begins by outlining the theoretical background and summarizing previous research on the topic. The main body of the book presents a detailed account of the author's own experimental work, in which they systematically varied the parameters of the electrical circuit and the properties of the surrounding medium to observe the corresponding changes in the spectra produced by the discharges. The results of these experiments are interpreted in the context of pressure effects on atomic lines, and the author concludes that the observed phenomena can be explained by the presence of high pressures in the vicinity of the discharge. This book is a valuable resource for researchers interested in the spectroscopy of high-energy plasmas and the astrophysical implications of their findings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

In attempting to form a clear conception of the phenomena of the high potential discharge in liquids, it was felt that an investigation should also be made of the spectrum of the high potential discharge in air and other gases at high pressures. The previous work of Humphreys and Mohler onbthe low potential discharge in air at pressures up to 145 atmospheres had proved of gi'eat interest and importance from an astrophysical standpoint. This had led to the general adoption of a law of pressure-shifts, in which the change of wave-length is expressed as directly proportional to the total pressure of the surrounding air. It seemed probable that investigations made primarily for the pur pose of elucidating the phenomena previously encountered in liquids might also render possible an extension of this law, or at least give a basis for the discussion of any differences'in character which the low potential and the high potential discharges might exhibit. We hardly expected to find, however, that phenomena resembling those observed in liquids could be reproduced in gases at moderate pressures. Unfortunately, the removal of Dr. Kent from the Yerkes Observatory put a stop to this part of the investigation before it was fairly begun. An account of the few results obtained is nevertheless given in Part II of the present paper, as they are of some interest for com parison with the phenomena Observed in liquids. No general discussion of these results is attempted, for lack of sufficient data.
Part III comprises a brief outline of the-spectroscopic phenomena of temporary stars and some remarks on the bearing of our results on Wilsing's pressure theory. It is evident that the experiments we have been able to undertake are wholly insufficient, both in variety and extent, to provide a suitable foundation for. A general discussion. We have therefore been compelled to limit ourselves to such considerations as'are suggested by the work in hand, leaving a continuation of the discussion for some future occasion, when further data may be available.

Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
