Abstract: | This study presents a quantitative evaluation of the influence of radiation upon the parameters of a long induced discharge in argon at atmospheric pressure. Radiation heat transfer in the optically transparent tin plasma layers with thickness of the order of several centimeters) and reabsorption spectral intervals is examined. Experimental error produced by inaccurate knowledge of the transfer and optical characteristics of the plasma is evaluated. The effect of convection on radial temperature profile is evaluated.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiztki, No. 6, pp. 35–43, November–December, 1971. |
