Characteristics of a high-enthalpy electric-arc heater for air at atmospheric pressure

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

A vortex-type plasma generator is described, and its current-voltage and heat characteristics as well as the basic parameters of the plasma jet are reported. Results of an investigation of the heater are compared with literature data. Correlations for the basic characteristics are derived that may be employed to design a high-enthalpy plasma generator.
