An experimental study of the wall characteristics of a local fluid constriction plasma generator

A local energy conversion efficiency for a confined-discharge plasma generator is defined as the fraction of local power input which is transferred to the gas. The local efficiency is a maximum near the gas inlet and diminishes with axial distance. The thermal development length is the axial exten...
