THE USE OF COMBINATION FEED GASES TO INCREASE THE THERMAL EFFICIENCY OF THE PLASMA PROCESSES
An important parameter of the heat of the plasma arc is its specific heat (enthalpy), ie, the amount of heat contained in a unit of volume or weight of the arc. Influence of plasma gas on the thermal characteristics of the plasma arc were extensively studied in recent years. In this paper we examine the effect of shielding gas on the thermal parameters of the compressed arc.
