Multi-Electrode Plasma Torches: Motivation for Development and Current State-of-the-Art
Multi-electrode plasma torches are becoming increasingly popular in the thermal spray community due to their good stability and high power plasma jet even when operated with inert gases. Currently the models in use feature either three cathodes and a single anode or three individual anodes connecting to a single cathode. The motivation for development of these plasma torches is based on the inh...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium modeling of arc plasma torches
A two-temperature thermal non-equilibrium model is developed and applied to the threedimensional and time-dependent simulation of the flow inside a DC arc plasma torch. A detailed comparison of the results of the non-equilibrium model with those of an equilibrium model is presented. The fluid and electromagnetic equations in both models are approximated numerically in a fully-coupled approach b...
متن کاملGraphite Electrode DC Arc Furnace
Innovative Technology Summary Reports are designed to provide potential users with the information they need to quickly determine if a technology would apply to a particular environmental management problem. They are also designed for readers who may recommend that a technology be considered by prospective users. Each report describes a technology, system, or process that has been developed and...
متن کاملSimulation Results of Arc Behavior in Different Plasma Spray Torches
Three-dimensional, transient simulations of the plasma flow inside different plasma spray torches have been performed using a local thermodynamic equilibrium model solved by a multiscale finite element method. The model describes the dynamics of the arc without any further assumption on the reattachment process except for the use of an artificially high electrical conductivity near the electrod...
متن کاملModeling of the arc reattachment process in plasma torches
The need to improve plasma spraying processes has motivated the development of computational models capable of describing the arc dynamics inside plasma torches. Although progress has been made in the development of such models, the realistic simulation of the arc reattachment process, a central part of the arc dynamics inside plasma torches, is still an unsolved problem. This study presents a ...
