Temperature as a Determinant in the Comparative Study of Budde Effect, Joshi Effect and Corona Pressure Effect in Chlorine

Abstract

A comparative study of the Budde effect, Joshi effect and corona
pressure effect in chlorine admixed with a little air and water vapour
enclosed in the annular space of Siemens type ozonizer has been made
in the temperature range 37 to 98°C. Budde effect has been found to
be independent in the above temperature range. This has been attributed
to the fact that both the characteristic convergence frequency and light
absorption in chlorine are practically unaffected by a 61°C temperature
rise. And, water acts as a 'poison' by forming an adsorption layer on
the wall surface. The Joshi effect and the corona pressure effect have
been found to increase in the above temperature range. This is in accord
with Joshi's theory for the phenomenon  Δi .
