Emission coefficient of uranium plasmas
Creators
Description
The emission coefficient for uranium plasmas (temperature: 8000°K) was measured for the wavelength range from 1200 to 6000 Å. The results were compared to theoretical calculations and other measurements. Reasonable agreement between theoretical predictions and our measurements was found in the region from 1200 to 2000 Å. Although it was difficult to make absolute comparisons among the different reported measurements, considerable disagreement was found for the higher wavelength region. A short discussion regarding the overall comparisons is given, and final suggestions are made as to the most appropriate emission coefficient values to be used in future design calculations. The absorption coefficient for the same wavelength interval is also reported.
