Heat loss in the channel of a plasmatron

  • Published:
Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A mathematical model is constructed and a computational experiment is carried out to determine the characteristics of a longitudinally blown electric arc in the channel of a plasmatron under conditions of local thermal equilibrium. A feature of the model is that it makes allowance for radiation transfer in the real spectrum of an electric- arc plasma. An algorithm for solving the problem is presented and the effect of radiation reabsorption on the radiation and conductive heat loss in the plasmatron channel is shown.
