Abstract

The distributions of the dynamic pressures and heat fluxes are experimentally investigated in subsonic jets of the VGU-3 HF plasmatron flowing out from a conical water-cooled nozzle with the exit section diameter of 80 mm. The dynamic pressures are measured using a Pitot–Prandtl tube. The heat fluxes are measured using a water-cooled calorimetric probe with copper heat-absorbing surface. The temperature distributions over the outer surface of the quartz discharge channel of the plasmatron are measured using a thermal imager with and without mounting a nozzle. All the experiments are performed at the anode powers of 100 and 250 kW for the pressures in the plasmatron test chamber of 5 and 10 kPa.
