4 Preface Thermal plasma technology has evolved over the past decade into an advanced interdisciplinary science that is attracting increasing attention. Its principal applications are in materials processing, including extractive metallurgy, melting and refining of metals and alloys, plasma chemical synthesis, plasma chemical vapor deposition, plasma and arc spraying, plasma waste destruction, and plasma synthesis of advanced ceramics. Although some of these applications are presently well-established technologies such as arc plasma welding, plasma cutting, arc spraying, and atmospheric and vacuum plasma spraying, present research activities indicate that refinement and optimization of these processes and especially intelligent processing and automation are still in the forefront of research endeavors. Plasma synthesis of fine particles down to the nanometer size range, the plasma chemical vapor deposition of thin films, and the plasma destruction of toxic waste materials are among the more recent applications of thermal plasmas, which are still in their early stages of development. As engineers or research scientists undertake a design or an R & D project in any of these areas, they are faced with the major difficulty of having to be acquainted with a wide range of scientific disciplines varying from plasma physics, statistical thermodynamics, hightemperature chemical kinetics, advanced transport phenomena, and materials science. Publications dealing with thermal plasma technology te nd to be dispersed over a wide range of scientific journals, which makes it rather difficult for the expert as weil as the newcomer to follow progress in this field. Having maintained an active involvement in this field over the past 20 years, and having taught graduate level and continuing education courses covering different aspects of thermal plasma technology, we have decided to put our knowledge and diverse experiences and backgrounds v
5 vi Preface together in a single reference textbook devoted to the fundamentals and applications of thermal plasma technology. We choose to address the book to practicing engineers and research scientists looking for a simple and clear review of the principal fundamental concepts involved rather than an exhaustive survey of the subject. But this book mayaiso serve as an introductory text for graduate students entering the field of thermal plasma technology. Ample references are given in each chapter for a more in-depth study of the topics covered. Because of the diversity of the topics to be covered, it was not possible to cover all of them in a single volume. Our choice was, therefore, to present the subject matter of this book in two complementary volumes, the first devoted to the more fundamental concepts of plasma physics and gaseous electronics, thermodynamics and transport properties of plasmas, while the second deals more with the engineering aspects of plasma generation, transport phenomena under plasma conditions, diagnostic techniques, and industrial applications of thermal plasma technology. This first volume ls divided into eight chapters preceded by abrief introduction. In the first chapter, the plasma state is defined and various methods of thermal plasma generation are introduced along with abrief discussion of thermal plasma properties and applications of thermal plasmas. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 cover the essential elements of atomic and molecular theory, kinetic theory, and gaseous electronics, respectively, which are needed for an understanding of material presented in the following chapters. After deriving the plasma equations in Chapter 5, thermodynamic and transport properties are considered in the following two chapters. The most up-to-date values of these properties for selected gases and gas mixtures are presented in the Appendix in the form of tables. The last chapter (8) is devoted to radiation transport. This book has grown out of work done by the authors and their co-workers at their respective universities. Thanks are due to many present and former students and co-workers of the authors who contributed direct1y or indirect1y to this book. Mrs. Pierrette Robidoux painstakingly typed the manuscript and Mrs. P. McMurry provided assistance in technical editing. Very special thanks are due to the wives of the authors-alice, Paulette, and Maja-for their patience, understanding, and support. M. Boulos P. Fauchais E. Pfender
