Handbook of thermal plasmas /
Boulos, Maher I.author.
Fauchais, Pierreauthor.
Pfender, Emil,1925-author.
This authoritative reference integrates detail on the most-essential properties, specifications, tolerances, and related knowledge derived from theoretical and applied research and industrial development on thermal plasmas. Every aspect of thermal plasmas is thoroughly covered, including: basic atomic and molecular theory, radiation transport, thermal arcs, and inductively coupled discharges, mathematical modelling as well as  plasma and in-flight particle diagnostics. Industrial applications of thermal plasma technology are also included. This book is an essential, comprehensive resource for practicing engineers, research scientists, and graduate students working in the field.
From the Contents: The Plasma State -- Basic Atomic and Molecular Theory -- Kinetic Theory -- Fundamental Concepts in Gaseous Electronics -- Derivation of the Plasma Equations -- Thermodynamic Properties.
