APPROXIMATE SOLUTION OF PROBLEM ON STATIONARY INDUCED HIGH-FREQUENCY DISCHARGE IN CLOSED VOLUME (PRIBLIZHENNOE RESHENIE ZADACHI O STATSIONARNOR INDUTSIROVANNOM VYSOKOCHASTOTNOM RAZRYADE V ZAMKNUTOM OBEME),

Abstract

A theoretical description of temperature, current and energy distributions in dense plasma discharges is given. It is assumed that the departure from the equilibrium temperature is small and that the dominant energy transfer mechanism is thermal conduction. Since it is assumed that local thermodynamic equilibrium exists, all transfer coefficients are functions of temperature and pressure only, reducing the problem to that of energy balance consistent with Maxwell's equations. The method of iterative approximations is used to obtain the solutions. These are determined for specific examples which are used for comparison with the experimental results of other authors. Comparison between computed and experimental results are shown graphically. The disagreements that are evident are ascribed to the experimental interpretations of the data and poorly defined boundary conditions.
