Velocity Distributions in Molecular Beams from Nozzle Sources

Anderson, J. B., Fenn, J. B.·1965·The Physics of Fluids

Abstract

The velocity distributions in molecular beams of argon produced by the Kantrowitz-Grey supersonic nozzle technique have been investigated using a time-of-flight method. It is shown that the transition from continuum to free molecular flow in free jet expansion limits the minimum width of the velocity distribution which may be obtained. The Mach number corresponding to the axial velocity distribution of the expanding gas approaches a limit which varies inversely with the two-fifths power of the Knudsen number at the nozzle. With argon at room temperature the narrowest velocity distribution obtained corresponds to a Mach number of 23 (90% of the molecules within 5.4% of the most probable velocity).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
