Abstract
On the basis of a consideration of the interaction between the electromagnetic field and the plasma we determine the power evolved in a discharge as a function of the various parameters of the field, the nature of the gas, and the discharge temperature.
From a consideration of the thermodynamical properties we determine the power drawn off by heated gases of the plasma burner as a function of the temperature of these gases and the consumption.
Finally, from a consideration of the energy balance we determine the resulting temperature and power of the discharge as a function of the above-mentioned parameters. The results of calculations coincide with the experimentally measured values of the power and discharge temperature.
