Effect of gas flow rate on plasma temperature and electron density of atmospheric argon plasma jet

Abstract EN

In this study, method for experimentally determining the electron density (ne) and the electron temperature (Te) in the atmospheric Argon plasma jet is used; it is based on optical emission spectroscopy (OES).

Boltzmann plot method used to calculate these parameters measured for different values of gas flow rate.

The results show that the electron temperature decreasing with the increase of gas flow rate also indicates an increasing in the electron density of plasma jet with increasing of gas flow rate.
