The stabilization of a plasma jet in a vortex chamber as a result of the return of the turbulent moles coming out of this jet and back into it was analyzed with account for the nonuniformity of the circumferential velocity of the vortex, the heat transfer, and the appearance of associated masses in this chamber. For the purpose of determining the dependence of the critical Richardson number in the indicated chamber on the physical and thermodynamic parameters of the moles and the vortex flow in it, a system of equations was derived and solved numerically. The calculation results obtained were compared with the corresponding experimental data.
