Influence of gas flow rate on the plasma temperature and electron density of an atmospheric argon plasma jet
Department of Physics, College of Science, University of Baghdad, Iraq
Abstract
This study, an approach for experimentally determining the electron-temperature (Te) and electron-number-density (ne) in an atmospheric Argon (Ar) plasma jet is employed, utilizing optical-emission spectroscopy (OES). The Boltzmann plot method is applied to compute these parameters across variable measurements of gas-flow-rates ranging from 0.5 to 2.5, respectively. the resulting show that the gas flow-rate affects the electron-temperature, and there is an inverse relationship with the gas flow-rate and electron temperature, In contrast, there exists a clear correlation between the rate at which gas flows and the density of electrons in the plasma jet. The inverse correlation between electron temperature and electron density highlights the complex interplay between gas flow-rates and fundamental plasma characteristics, which is essential for comprehending and enhancing plasma-based applications.
