Plasma of electric arc discharge between copper electrodes in a gas flow

Spectroscopy investigations of the thermal multicomponent plasma of the electric arc discharge between copper electrodes in carbon dioxide and argon flows were carried out. The technique of calculation of plasma equilibrium com­p­o­sition is discussed. The influence of hydrodynamic cooling of gas fl...

Description
Summary:Spectroscopy investigations of the thermal multicomponent plasma of the electric arc discharge between copper electrodes in carbon dioxide and argon flows were carried out. The technique of calculation of plasma equilibrium com­p­o­sition is discussed. The influence of hydrodynamic cooling of gas flow on the plasma state is estimated. It was assumed that the thermal dissociation of molecules of working gas play the key role in deviation from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) in plasma.
