摘要
Computed results are presented describing the temperature and concentration fields obtained when an argon plasma jet is being discharged into ambient air. A previously published mathematical model for turbulent plasma plumes is used for the calculations. These predictions are compared with recent), published experimental measurements by Brossa and Pfender, performed with an enthalpy probe. The theoretical predictions appear to agree reasonably well with the measurements of both the temperature and concentration profiles, with a maximum deviation in the 10-20% range. © 1990 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
