AI Thread Summary
Calculating the electron temperature (Te) of arc plasma is essential for determining Spitzer resistivity in arc discharge plasmas. The discussion highlights the need for a mathematical formula or method to derive Te, as many sources focus on measurement techniques rather than calculations. Variations in electron temperature are influenced by current and voltage in the plasma. A Google search revealed useful resources, including a Wikipedia article on Plasma Arc Welding, but the challenge remains in finding a purely mathematical approach. Understanding Te is crucial for accurate plasma modeling and applications in welding and other technologies.

How to calculate the electron temperature (Te) of an arc plasma with moving through air with current I, and voltage V
I am trying to calculate the spitzer resistivity of an arc discharge plasma and I have not been able to figure out how to calculate electron temperature (Te). What is the formula / method of getting this value? How does electron temperature vary in relation to current and voltage moving through the plasma.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What sources have you been looking through? I did a Google search on electron temperature of plasma arc and got lots of good hits. One of the first ones was a Wikipedia article on Plasma Arc Welding.
 
Most of the sources that I have found talk about measuring electron temperature through instruments not through some sort of mathematical approach or law.

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...

Thread 'Is Gravity an entropic property like Surface Tension'

Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
