SOME NUMERICAL CALCULATIONS FOR AN ELECTRIC ARC IN A CYLINDRICAL TUBE.
Abstract
Some properties of a static electric arc in a circular cylindrical tube are calculated numerically. The radiative influence in the problem is accounted for in a simplified way, and the assumed variations with temperature of the radiated power density, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity represent an attempt to cover the whole range of conditions from a weakly ionized gas to a fully ionized gas. One indication from the calculations is that an arc is heat-conduction dominated at very high currents (as well as at very low currents). (Author)
