Carbon and Sulfur

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

(Does anyone follow Naudin's work by chance?)

What is the temperature of fusion of carbon? sulfur?

 

[Illuminatus]

Do you mean the heat of fusion? In that case, it's 100 kJ/mol for graphite, 120 kJ/mol for diamond, and ~1.72 kJ/mol for sulphur.

 

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

No, the actual temperature needed for fusion to occur. I already have an estimate between 1 and 10 million K @ 1 atm for carbon, but thanks!

It's much hotter than that. The fusion of helium doesn't occur until 100 million K so for carbon and sulfur it would be higher.

Ah, it must have been 1 to 10 billion, not million

I don't have my cheat sheet beside me

Are there any websites you could recommend with any information on the topic? It sounds interesting.

There are not many sites that talk about this type of fusion. This kind of information is very hard to come by.

Ah well. It sounds like a formidable task for Google .

Even with Google it is next to impossible to get good information on this

That's strange since Google tends to be the best search engine for technical information (or at least the best that I'm aware of). Are there any books on the topic that you could recommend?

That is what I mean. The information isn't just hidden, it's EXTREMELY scarce, and for some of the info I am after, it has not even been calculated yet!

Why is it so scarce? Is it a new idea or one that just hasn't generated a lot of interest?

Some combination of both. It's potential is not yet recognized.

Ah I see. If I find anything of interest I'll share it.

Thanks

Wow you were right-there isn't much out there. In fact, the first thing that came up when I googled it was your post on CF!

I find that quite humorous

Really-the website closest to the information is a question about the information! I used different wording as well, so that indicates that there doesn't seem to be any information out there. I only had 2 pages on Google.
