DETERMINATION OF THE LUMINOSITY OF AIR, N2 AND CO2 AT TEMPERATURES OF APPROX. 10,000K

Abstract

In an arc, stabilized by whirl currents of the gas being investigated, plasma is sucked through electrodes and in this way electrode contamination is eliminated. There is an arc source, receiving a homogenous solumn of clear gas plasma. In the spectrum area of 0.2-3 micrometers, the integral luminosity of air, N2 and CO2 is measured. Measurement is accomplished at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of approximately 10,000K. Discharge in air is evaluated by the inclusion of the luminosity of several spectral areas into the integral luminosity of plasma.
