Operational Parameters of Thermal Water Vapor Plasma Torch and Diagnostics of Generated Plasma Jet
نویسندگان
چکیده
The operational characteristics of the experimental direct current plasma torch with water vapor stabilization of the arc discharge and diagnostics of generated plasma jet at the nozzle exhaust of the torch were studied in this research. The operation parameters of the torch are presented in terms of generalized thermal and electrical characteristics, which were compared with equations for steam plasma generators. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) method was used as an important diagnostic tool to investigate the composition of generated plasma jet. The rotational and excitation temperatures of species from the emission spectra were calculated roughly.

Electric Probe Diagnostics of Thermal Plasma Jet at Low Pressures
Introduction The possibility of application of electric probes for diagnostics of thermal plasma jets is limited, especially due to the interaction of the probe with plasma. Nevertheless, some important information can be obtained. Electric probes were used for measurement of plasma potential in arc plasma [Chapman and Jones, 1978; Hrabovský and Konrad, 1991; Popov and Gateval, 2001], and for d...

متن کاملExperimental Study of Nanostructured Silicon Carbide Film Formation by Hypersonic Plasma Particle Deposition
Experiments were conducted to study the effect of process parameters on the formation of nanostructured silicon carbide films by hypersonic plasma particle deposition (HPPD). In HPPD, vapor phase precursors are injected into a thermal plasma generated by a DC arc torch. The plasma is then quenched by supersonic expansion in a ceramic lined nozzle, resulting in the nucleation and growth of ultra...
