CALCULATION OF THE D-C ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF EQUILIBRIUM NITROGEN AND ARGON PLASMA WITH AND WITHOUT ALKALI METAL SEED
Abstract
Scalar electrical conductivities were computed for nitrogen and argon plasma in thermal equilibrium. Calculations were made for these gases both unseeded and seeded with cesium, potassium, and NaK in amounts ranging from 0.01 to 10 per cent seed by weight, and cover a range of pressure and temperature from 0.10 to 10,000 atm and from 2000 to 15,000K, respectively. Calculated electrical conductivities are presented in figure form as a function of temperature with seed rate and pressure as parameters. Some effects of applied magnetic fields up to 20,000 gauss on the conductivity of potassium-seeded nitrogen are also given.
