Acquisition of an Internally Heated Pressure Vessel for Hydrogen

该奖项提供了所需资金的一半， 氢气的获取。兼容内部加热压力 容器。该容器将安装用于高压和 地质系温度实验研究 布朗大学的科学。 压力容器的通常设计不允许在高压下工作， 有水时岩石系统的压力和温度 因为水的分解会导致大量的 氢气对金属外壳有腐蚀性。但这样 在实验岩石学中，实验是必不可少的，因为水 在地球上无处不在这里要求的系统 将允许长期的水岩系统实验， 模拟地球上的环境。

This award provides one-half of the funds required for the acquisition of an hydrogen.compatible internally heated pressure vessel. The vessel will be installed for high.pressure and temperature experimental research in the Department of Geological Sciences at Brown University. The usual design of pressure vessel precludes work at high- pressure and temperature on rock systems in the presence of water because the dissociation of water can lead to considerable amounts of hydrogen which is corrosive to the metal jacket. But such experiments are essential in experimental petrology because water is ubiquitously present in the Earth. The system requested here will allow long-term experiments on water-rock systems under conditions simulating those in the Earth.
