Strahlungsenergietransport mit Absorption in zylindrischen Bögen

Abstract

For temperatures above 12,000 °K the contribution of non-transparent radiation becomes very important for the energy transport in argon and nitrogen arc plasmas. Formulas for the radiation flux and the difference between emission and absorption of radiation per unit volume and time are given generally and furthermore for arcs of cylindrical symmetry. For argon arcs at normal pressure with axial temperatures between 10,000 and 16,000 °K the radiative behaviour is investigated and the share of transparent and non-transparent radiation on the total energy flux is computed. The influence of different assumptions made on the amount of emission and absorption on theE(I)-characteristic and the radial temperature distributions is shown.
