Calculation of the radiation power emitted from Ar long plasmas produced by
a torch has been carried out. At first, the radial and axial temperature d
istributions in appearance plasmas have been calculated by using the measur
ed electric field strength and photo-radius. Then, radiation power has been
calculated by making use of the radiation power density of high-temperatur
e Ar and then compared with the measured radiation power as a function of p
lasma length.
