INVESTIGATION OF FEEDSTOCK JET MIXING WITH A PLASMA STREAM IN A PLASMA REACTOR

Experimental studies of the propagation of circular-profile gas jets i n a plasma stream in a jet flow plasma reactor were carried out under conditions of chemical interaction of the mixing flows. The main facto rs and their influence on the trajectory of a single jet carried by th e plasma stream and on the length of the mixing zone of several gas je ts with the plasma stream were determined. Generalized relationships w ere derived for calculating the leading-edge trajectory of a single je t and the length of reactant mixing zone, at which boundary a required mass concentration of a chemical element is established.
