DETERMINING THE AVERAGE SPEED AND CONCENTRATION OF PARTICLES OF A RAPID FLUX OF RAREFIED PLASMA,
Abstract
A method is presented for determining the average speed and concentration of the particles of a rapid flow of rarefied plasma and also the force of action of this flux on a body placed in it. The proposed method is based on the simultaneous measurement of the number of particles passing in a unit of time through a determined section and the force of action of this number of particles on a body, the coefficient of frontal resistance of which is precisely known. As such a body there is proposed the so called 'pulse trap' (F trap) which, on meeting with the particles of the flux, causes them to experience a practically absolute inelastic collision. (Author)
