Composition et coefficients de transport des plasmas de matériaux plastiques (polymères)

Abstract

Composition at equilibrium, electrical and thermal conductivities, and dynamic viscosity coefficient are calculated for plasmas produced by vaporization of plastic materials (polymers) containing some percentage of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Temperature and pressure ranges are 5000 – 30 000 K and 0.1–1 MPA. By indicating the role played by some particles on the characteristics of the discharge, this study has shown the influence of the nature of the material.[Journal translation]
