Abstract
In this study the applicability of the binary mixture model utilizing the first-order gas-kinetic Chapman–Enskog theory is substantiated for describing diffusion processes at different degrees of ionization of a single-temperature simple gas plasma consisting of three components: atoms, ions and electrons. On the same bases, the obtained expressions for a trinary mixture are applicable to a plasma with a fourth component that is difficult to ionize. The thermal diffusion relations of a trinary mixture are derived, whose peculiarity is the electronic component, which does not affect the diffusion flows of atoms and ions. It is shown that in a highly ionized He arc plasma with developed diffusion and ionization nonequilibrium, thermal diffusion is insignificant. It is noted that when thermodynamic equilibrium is violated, the diffusion coefficients may not change at all or decrease by half at most.
摘要 在本研究中,利用一阶气体动力查普曼-恩斯科格理论的二元混合物模型的适用性得到了证实,该模型可用于描述由原子、离子和电子三种成分组成的单温简单气体等离子体在不同电离程度下的扩散过程。在同样的基础上,所获得的三元混合物表达式也适用于含有难以电离的第四种成分的等离子体。推导出了三元混合物的热扩散关系,其特点是电子成分不影响原子和离子的扩散流。结果表明,在高度电离的 He 电弧等离子体中,扩散和电离非均衡都很发达,热扩散微不足道。值得注意的是,当热力学平衡被打破时,扩散系数可能完全不变或最多减少一半。
