An analytical solution is obtained for the nonlinear boundary-value problem describing heating of gases in the positive column of an arc with current and gas consumption varying along a channel for a given power density distribution of the internal heat sources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
