The effect of magnetic field variations on the spectral properties of tornado plasma

At atmospheric pressure and at a frequency of 9.1 kHz, a constructed magnetically stabilized tornado gliding arc discharge (MSGAD) system was utilized in this study to generate a non-thermal plasma with an alternating voltage source from 2,4,6,8 to 10 kV. Argon gas was used to generate the arc plasm...

description At atmospheric pressure and at a frequency of 9.1 kHz, a constructed magnetically stabilized tornado gliding arc discharge (MSGAD) system was utilized in this study to generate a non-thermal plasma with an alternating voltage source from 2,4,6,8 to 10 kV. Argon gas was used to generate the arc plasma with an adjustable flow rate using a flow meter regulator to stabilize the gas flow rate to 2 L/min. A gliding plasma discharge is achieved by a magnetic field for the purpose of a planned investigation. The influence of the magnetically stabilized tornado gliding arc discharge parameters such as magnetic field and applied voltage on microscopic tornado plasma parameters was studied. The electron temperature1was measured using a Boltzmann plot and the electron1density was1determined by the Stark1broadening method. The electron temperature ranged from 0.818 eV to 1.495 eV, and the electron density varied from 1.37 × 1018 cm−3 to 2.49 × 10 18 cm−3 at a magnetic coil with 350 turns. Subsequently, the electron temperature increased to a range of 1.029 eV–1.794 eV, and the electron density reached a range of 1.53 × 1018 cm−3 to 2.89 × 1018 cm−3 at a magnetic coil with 500 turns. It can be observed that the plasma properties exhibit a rise as the number of turns of the coil and the applied voltage increase.
