Abstract

We demonstrate that the use of criteria reflecting the processes of gas acceleration makes it possible to generalize the volt-ampere characteristics (in dimensionless form) of electric arcs swept by various gases. We have derived a generalized characteristic for an electricarc heater operating on hydrogen, helium, air, and argon. We discuss methods of raising the accuracy of the generalized characteristics.
