Abstract
Theoretical studies on the electron temperature Te of a positive column plasma with two-body and three-body volume recombinations have been done. Numerical results of Te for various discharge conditions are given. These results are used to examine the validity of the approximate equation for determining Te presented by Solunskii and Timan (1964). A new approximate equation which is valid for a wide range of discharge conditions is also proposed.Keywords
