Abstract:
A stationary, one-dimensional fluid model is presented to describe the interelectrode region of a nonfiltered vacuum arc operated with a background gas. The model includes the electron energy equation and the main elastic and inelastic atomic processes among metallic ions, electrons, and gas particles. To validate the model predictions an experimental study of the plasma-neutral gas structure, using a titanium (Ti) cathode and argon (Ar) as the background gas, is presented. The measured electron temperature and the experimental dependence on the pressure of neutral Ti and Ar spectroscopic emission lines are well reproduced, using a simple atomic model to interpret the plasma radiation emission. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.
