Abstract
The gas-dynamic stability limits of electric-arc heaters have been experimentally investigated and the effect of the principal electrical, gas-dynamic and geometrical factors on arc stabilization is established. A design equation for calculating anode diameter is obtained such that steady vortex stabilization is ensured within the operating range of the heater.
