WATER MOLECULE INFLUENCE ON ELECTRON PARAMETERS IN NON-EQUILIBRIUM OXYGEN PLASMA

The results of calculations of electron energy function distributions, kinetic and transport parameters of electrons are considered for non-equilibrium oxygen plasma with addition of water molecules. Additives of water molecules were shown to influence strongly on electron parameters in the range of reduced electric field strengths E/N of (1-8) 10(-16) V cm(2) though than E/N is less than the influence degree is more. The increase in water content results in the decrease in rate constants of processes with electron participation, in their average energy and drift velocity.
