Description

Theoretical studies on the electron temperature Tsub(e) of a positive column plasma with two-body and three-body volume recombinations have been carried out. Numerical results of Tsub(e) for various discharge conditions are given. These results are used to examine the validity of the approximate equation for determining Tsub(e) presented by Solunskii and Timan. (Sov. Phys.-Tech. Phys.; 9: 207 (1964)). A new approximate equation which is valid for a wide range of discharge conditions is also proposed. (author)
