Shrouding of Thermal Plasma Jets Generated by Gas-Water Torch
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ambient air is entrained intensively into atmospheric pressure thermal plasma jets. A system for shielding plasma jet has been used to improve jet characteristics and reduce oxygen content. Different gases have been applied as a shroud gas – argon, acetylene, methane, mixtures of acetylene-nitrogen and hydrogen-nitrogen. All shroud gases used in experiments affected plasma jet making the profiles of the jet characteristics flattened with higher temperatures and velocities and reduced amount of oxygen.

Velocity Measurements for Arc Jets Produced by a DC Plasma Spray Torch
An optical method was used to determine the axial velocity of plasma jets produced by a DC plasma spray torch. Different experimental conditions were tested in order to systematically study the influence of the working parameters on the plasma velocity. In this way, the arc current ranged between 200 and 600 A, the gas flow rate between 30 and 80 slm, and the internal nozzle diameter between 6 ...
