Estimation of dynamic properties of attractors observed in hollow copper electrode atmospheric pressure arc plasma system

摘要

Understanding of the basic nature of arc root ???uctuation is still one of the unsolved problems in thermal arc plasma physics. It has direct impact on myriads of thermal plasma applications being implemented at present. Recently, chaotic nature of arc root behavior has been reported through the analysis of voltages, acoustic and optical signals which are generated from a hollow copper electrode arc plasma torch. In this paper we present details of computations involved in the estimation process of various dynamic properties and show how they re???ect chaotic behavior of arc root in the system.
