文摘A thermal analysis of characteristic parameters in the electrode-region for tubular plasma generators is developed. Results of calculation on temperature of electrodes, evaporation rate and erosion rate for different electrode materials are presented as a function of arc current, pressure of arc chamber, width of arc root and velocity of water coolant. Some experimental data on electrode erosion in a tubular plasma generator is given. The effects of operating parameters on erosion rate are discussed in detail.
