Modelling and experimental analysis of vacuum plasma spraying. Part II: prediction of temperatures and velocities of plasma gases and Ti particles in a plasma jet

A numerical model has been developed to calculate the spatial distributions of plasma gas temperature, enthalpy, velocity and fractions of dissociated and ionized species in a vacuum plasma spraying (VPS) plasma jet under a range of plasma current, Ar flow rate, H-2 flow rate and chamber pressure, a...
