Experimental Determination of Argon Plasma Transport Properties.
Abstract
Measurements of the plasma transport properties of argon at atmospheric pressure are presented. The properties included in the study are electrical and thermal conductivity, radiation source strength, and viscosity as functions of the plasma temperature. The plasma source used for this study consists of a one-inch diameter, wall-stabilized, pulsed discharge with laminar, developed, axial flow at small Mach numbers. Data are collected by utilizing probe and optical diagnostics. The diagnostic techniques enable the plasma transport properties to be calculated using fewer assumptions than conventional methods.
