Electron energy distribution in CO_2 - and CO lasers plasma

摘要

Two effective methods of electron energy distribution function (EEDF) calculation are presented. One of them considers stationary form of EEDF master equation, the second one treats nonstationary form of the last. Two Fortran programs are developed for gas mixtures containing CO_2, CO, N_2, O_2, H_2, He, Ar species. On the whole good or satisfactory agreement with experiment is achieved for most of kinetic properties.
