DETERMINATION OF GAS TEMPERATURE IN THE PLASMATRON CHANNEL ACCORDING TO THE KNOWN DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE

Abstract

An analytical method to calculate the temperature distribution of heavy particles in the channel of the plasma torch on the known distribution of the electronic temperature has been proposed. The results can be useful for a number of model calculations in determining the most effective conditions of gas blowing through the plasma torch with the purpose of heating the heavy component. This approach allows us to understand full details about the heating of cold gas, inpouring the plasma, and to estimate correctly the distribution of the gas temperature inside the channel.
