Experimental Determination of Temperature Electronic Density and Air Pumping in an Oxygen Plasma Cutting Arc

Abstract

This paper deals with the experimental characterization of an oxygen plasma cutting torch. Optical spectroscopic methods were performed to determine temperature, electronic density and nitrogen rate values. This study concerned the region situated under the shock wave located in the immediate vicinity of the nozzle exit.
