Abstract
The composition as well as the electric and thermal conductivities of a copper-air plasma at atmospheric pressure are determined for temperatures ranging from 5000K to 14000K and different values of copper content. The calculating procedure is indicated and through an analysis of the results it is shown that the characteristics of the medium can be modified quite significantly in the presence of metal vapours.Keywords
