Abstract:

The report presents a spectral radiant emission model for the pulsed inert gas plasma arc lamp. The model is based on Kirchoffs law and NAVAIRDEVCEN evolved empirical data. Included in the discussion are some pertinent plasma arc parameters such as temperature, resistivity, collision frequency and their relation to arc current density. Author
