“…Consequently, the Knudsen cell method as used previously by Honstein et al,5 is no longer available to determine the vapor pressures in the reactor. For the experiments described here, with SiC containing SiO 2 , and when condensation of SiO(g) vapor occurs at the reactor outlet, it is still possible to observe the remaining permanent CO(g) gas flow by introducing this flow into a spectrometer through a capillary tube.…”
