A wall-stabilized arc chamber has been built to make spectroscopic measurements in order to study thermal plasmas. An experimental design method has been carried out in order to control and to optimize all experimental setup parameters. Pure Ar, Ar–CO2, and Ar–N2 mixtures have been used to test time reliability and homogeneity of the plasma.
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.
