Abstract

The phys. behavior of a plasma torch is described by a set of 5 equations with 5 variables. These equations make it possible to calc. the characteristic quantities of the plasma flow; i.e., degree of ionization, velocity, d., temp., and enthalpy. The equations are solved graphically. For comparison, the values as found by a computer are also given. A complete energy balance shows the distribution of the supplied elec. energy over the various components of the plasma and the cooling water. A relatively simple expt. to det. the speed of exhaust of the plasma illustrates the reliability of the calcns. These results can be applied to practical spraying processes
