Title:

Recombining Processes in a Cooling Plasma by Mixing of Initially Heated Gas

Date of publication:

Mar. 1992

Key words:

population inversion, laser oscillation, recombining hydrogen plasma

Abstract:

A numerical investigation of recombining process in a high temperature plasma in a quasi-steady state is made in a gas contact cooling, in which the initial temperature effect of contact gas heated up by the hot plasma is considered as well as the gas cooling due to the surrounding neutral particles freely coming into the plasma. The calculation has shown that the electron temperature relaxes in accord with experimental results and that the occurrence of recombining region and the inverted populations almost agree with the experimental ones.
