Reconstruction of Emission Coefficients for a Non-axisymmetric Coupling Arc Based on MALDONADO's Method

The reconstruction of emission coefficient is a key factor for the calculation of temperature field.However,most of the researches for determining arc plasmas are based on axisymmetric sources,little has been done to study non-axisymmetric arc plasmas.In order to reveal temperatures of a non-axisymmetric coupling arc,the distribution of emission coefficients must be reconstructed in advance.In this paper,the argon atomic line intensities of the coupling arc are obtained by using the imaging system that involves a high speed camera in conjunction with a neutral and a narrow-band filter.The converted programme between emission coefficients and emitted intensities is programmed based on MALDONADO＇s method.A displaced Gaussian model is used for evaluating the validity of the converted programme.Then,the emission coefficients of a free burning arc are reconstructed by MALDONADO＇s method and an Abel inversion,respectively,and good agreement is obtained.Finally,the emission coefficient profiles of the coupling arc are achieved.The results show that the distribution of emission coefficient for the coupling arc is non-axisymmetric.The emission coefficient profile is similar to an ellipse,and the short axis of the ellipse is in the direction that the two electrodes are arranged along.The peak temperature of the coupling arc is in the middle of both electrodes.There is a strong interaction between both arcs within the coupling arc.The proposed research solves difficulties for determining asymmetric arcs and enlarges the application scope of spectroscopic techniques.

Thermal radiation properties of PTFE plasma

To illuminate the thermal transfer mechanism of devices adopting polytetrafluoroethylene（PTFE） as ablation materials,the thermal radiation properties of PTFE plasma are calculated and discussed based on local thermodynamic equilibrium（LTE） and optical thin assumptions.It is clarified that line radiation is the dominant mechanism of PTFE plasma.The emission coefficient shows an opposite trend for both wavelength regions divided by 550 nm at a temperature above15 000 K.The emission coefficient increases with increasing temperature and pressure.Furthermore,it has a good log linear relation with pressure.Equivalent emissivity varies complexly with temperature,and has a critical point between 20 000 K to 25 000 K.The equivalent cross points of the average ionic valence and radiation property are about 10 000 K and 15 000 K for fully single ionization.

Breakdown Voltage Research of Penning Gas Mixture in Plasma Display Panel

Paschen law and equations, which ignore the influence of the Penning ionization on the electron ionization coefficient （α）, are always used as the approximation of the breakdown voltage criterion of the Penning gas mixture in current researches of discharge characteristics of the plasma display panel （PDP）. It is doubtful that whether their results match the facts. Based on the Townsend gas self-sustaining discharge condition and the chemical kinetics analysis of the Penning gas mixture discharging in PDP, the empirical equation to describe the breakdown of the Penning gas mixture is given. It is used to calculate the breakdown voltage curves of Ne-Xe/MgO and Ne-Ar/MgO in a testing macroscopic discharge cell of AC-PDP. The effective secondary electron emission coefficients （γeff） of the MgO protective layers are derived by comparing the breakdown voltage curves obtained from the empirical equation with the experimental data of breakdown voltages. In comparison with the results calculated by the Paschen law and the equation which ignore the influence of the Penning ionization on α , the results calculated by the empirical equation have better conformity with experimental data. The empirical equation characterizes the breakdown of the Penning gas mixture in PDP effectively, and gives a convenient way to study its breakdown characteristics and the secondary electron emission behaviors.

Calculation of Solidification Process of Continuous Cast Bar

In this paper,it presents the results of calculation of solidification process of copper continuous cast bar by cross section size 120 mm × 70 mm with application of Pro Cast 2010 software. The estimation of mould design effect on solidification process of continuos copper cast bar is completed at various speeds of casting.Profiles of liquid metal cavities and temperature allocations in the cast bar at various casting speeds are defined.The analysis of received liquid metal cavity profiles shows that a new mold construction allows significantly decrease of the length of the liquid metal cavity during continuous copper casting at HAZELETTcasting machine and the increase of maximum casting speed from 10 to 11 m / min. Adequacy of the results of copper continuous cast bar solidification process calculation is confirmed by the experimental data.

The Consideration of Overlapping Lines in the Calculation of Radiative Power Emitted from CH_4 Thermal Plasma

Net emission coefficients of radiation were calculated for isothermal plasma of methane as a function of the plasma temperature 5,000 - 30,000 K and the arc radius 0 mm to 10 mm at atmospheric pressure. Calculations take into account continuum and line radiations, special attention has also been given to the influence of overlapping spectral lines. The line shapes in our calculations are given by convolution of Doppler and Lorentz profiles, resulting in a simplified Voigt profile. In the case of a hydrogen profile, we used the Vidal tables, and the four first Lyman lines and the four first Balmer lines were considered. This calculation was carried out on the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium and in a nondiffusive environment. The net emission coefficient calculation for pure argon plasma was compared with the experimental results of Evans in our previous work. We used the escape factor, and our results were higher than those of the experiment. In this paper, we explain why, using the escape factor, the radiation is overestimated. The net emission coefficient obtained from a real spectrum was compared with Essoltani work＇s which used the line-by-line method for pure argon plasma.

Pressure-broadened atomic Li(2s-2p) line perturbed by ground neon atoms in the spectral wings and core

Full quantum calculations are performed to investigate the broadening profiles of the atomic lithium Li（2s-2p） resonance line induced by interactions with ground Ne（2s^22p^6） perturbers in the spectral wings and core. The X^2Σ~＋, A^2Π,and B^2Σ~＋ potential-energy curves of the two first low lying Li Ne molecular states, as well as the corresponding transition dipole moments, are determined with ab initio methods based on the SA-CASSCF-MRCI calculations. The emission and absorption coefficients in the wavelength range 550-800 nm and the line-core width and shift are investigated theoretically for temperatures ranging from 130 K to 3000 K. Their temperature dependence is analyzed, and the obtained results are compared with the previous experimental measurements and theoretical works.

Estimation of Neutral Density in Edge Plasma with Double Null Configuration in EAST

In this work, population coefficients of hydrogen＇s n = 3 excited state from the hydrogen collisional-radiative （CR） model, from the data file of DEGAS 2, are used to calculate the photon emissivity coefficients （PECs） of hydrogen Balmer-α （n = 3 →n = 2） （Hα）. The results are compared with the PECs from Atomic Data and Analysis Structure （ADAS） database, and a good agreement is found. A magnetic surface-averaged neutral density profile of typical double-null （DN） plasma in EAST is obtained by using FRANTIC, the 1.5-D fluid transport code. It is found that the sum of integral Dα and Hα emission intensity calculated via the neutral density agrees with the measured results obtained by using the absolutely calibrated multi-channel poloidal photodiode array systems viewing the lower divertor at the last closed flux surface （LCFS）. It is revealed that the typical magnetic surface-averaged neutral density at LCFS is about 3.5×10^16 m^-3 .
