The present work provides a detailed kinetic analysis of the time-resolved dynamics of the gas heating during the arc reattachment in nitrogen gas in order to understand the main processes leading to such a fast reattachment. ...

A numerical investigation of the kinetic processes in the initial (nanosecond range) stage of the double-arcing instability was developed. The plasma-sheath boundary region of an oxygen-operated cutting torch was considered. ...

A quantitative interpretation of the schlieren technique applied to an atmospheric pressure, vortex-stabilized nitrogen thermal plasma jet generated in a direct-current nontransferred arc plasma torch (nitrogen gas flow ...

An experimental investigation of heat propagation in the case of plasma cutting of concrete is reported. The experiments were carried out by using a high-enthalpy nitrogen plasma jet generated in a dc vortex-stabilized ...

The present project of degree identified processes and mechanism for the transference of heat in soil, describing a brief state of the art based on a conceptual framework of the mechanical properties of the soil with respect ...
