Abstract
The heat transfer of flames generated in the induction plasma torch was measured with a water‐cooled copper split‐surface probe moved with respect to the flame. The resultant data were inverted mathematically to give the radial distribution of heat‐transfer intensity q. The distribution of q was measured for plasma flames as a function of distance from the nozzle and gas composition, using argon and mixtures of argon with oxygen or helium. For comparison, q was also measured for two oxy‐hydrogen flames. The peak q for the various flames ranged from 56 to 145 W/cm2, with total heat transfer ranging from 0.64 to 4.21 kW.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
