Abstract
A mathematical model for an enclosed inductively coupled plasma (EICP) is developed for configurations important for spectrochemical analysi s. The model, based on steady state, laminar flow, axial symmetry and local thermodynamic equilibrium assumptions, accounts for natural conv ection and radiative transfer effects. The computer simulations based in this model provide information about the temperature, flow, and ele ctromagnetic fields for spherical and cylindrical discharge configurat ions.
