Abstract

A study of the discharge plasma with a vortex flow of an argon + water vapor mixture with aluminum particles in a tube of a plasma vortex reactor (PVR) was carried out. The parameters of the discharge, plasma, and working flow in the PVR have been measured. Spectral methods were used to estimate the electron temperature, rotational and vibrational temperatures of excited molecular complexes, the temperature of metal clusters, and the electron density of plasma. A kinetic scheme is proposed for calculating the operating modes in a reactor using a water vapor discharge with aluminum particles. Numerical simulation of a vortex flow of pure water vapor with aluminum particles in the presence of a heating source is carried out.
