The positive column of high- and low-current arcs

The positive column of high- and low-current arcs SummaryThe central core temperatures and the radial temperature distributions have been calculated for arcs at different currents in nitrogen. Using Gaydon's value (9.76eV) for the dissociation potential of N2, good agreement is obtained between theory and observation, and the transition of the positive column at currents of about 50 amperes is explained by the effect of molecular dissociation on the thermal characteristics. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Scientific Research, Section B Springer Journals

Abstract

SummaryThe central core temperatures and the radial temperature distributions have been calculated for arcs at different currents in nitrogen. Using Gaydon's value (9.76eV) for the dissociation potential of N2, good agreement is obtained between theory and observation, and the transition of the positive column at currents of about 50 amperes is explained by the effect of molecular dissociation on the thermal characteristics.
