MODES OF OPERATION OF CONFINED KW D.C. ARGON JETS IN HELIUM OR ARGON

摘要

This study is explained in some detail in the Appendix. However, it was found that the magnetic field had a de stabilizing influence on the plasma stream issuing directly from the anode section. Subsequent testing demonstrated that the field was not affecting the plasma stream, but rather was perturbing the arc discharge character directly.
