Description
Summary:Heterogeneous plasma from a combined discharge in a vortex argon + steam mixture flow with aluminum particles in the tube of a plasma vortex reactor is experimentally studied. The discharge, plasma and working flow parameters are measured, and the coefficient of energy conversion in the plasma vortex reactor is measured. The electron temperature, the rotational and vibrational temperatures of excited molecular complexes, the temperature of metallic clusters, and the plasma electron concentration are estimated by spectral methods. A kinetic system for calculating the working regimes in the reactor using a discharge in steam with aluminum particles is proposed. A vortex pure steam flow with aluminum particles in the presence of a heating source is numerically modelled. The spatial-temporal distributions of the flow parameters, such as velocity, temperature, and pressure, are obtained together with the molar concentration distributions of the discharge mixture components.
