Thermal Plasma
Model ID: 8658

This model simulates a plasma at medium pressure (2 torr) where the plasma is still not in local thermodynamic equilibrium. At low pressures the two temperatures are decoupled but as the pressure increases the temperatures tend towards the same limit.



Thermal Plasma THERMAL PLASMAS: At high enough pressures, the electron temperature becomes equal to the gas temperature in thermal plasmas, and a much simpler MHD model can be used to model them. This is a revolved plot of the temperature inside the plasma source.
