SIMILARITY OF PLASMATRON CHARACTERISTICS
FOR LONGITUDINAL VORTEX FLOW AROUND THE ARC
WITH VARIATIONS IN THE GAS-FLOW RATE

The volt-ampere characteristics (VAC) of an electric arc 
are correlated with longitudinal vortex air and nitrogen flows in 
plasmatrons with a rod-like cathode and two tubular electrodes. Two 
types of exponent approximations are used: a simple empirical formula 
and a relationship between generalized variables. It is shown by methods 
of the analysis of variance that the use of generalized variables 
provides similarity of the VAC upon variations in the gas-flow rate.
