Complex Calculations of High-Pressure Discharge Irradiation Characteristics

A wide range of problems related to the determination of the high‐pressure irradiation parameters in inert gases and vapors of metals is considered. A new method for calculating equilibrium states of the computed thermodynamic systems is described and its applications to the determination of the plasma composition are disclosed. The method for computing basic discharge characteristics including the determination of material functions of the plasma producing media along with the optical absorption factors' a temperature field in a discharge stabilized by a quartz shell with regard to irradiation energy transfer carried out by bright‐line and continous spectra, spectral distributions for the radiant fluxes and discharge irradiation efficiency is presented. Results of multiple calculations to obtain said characteristics in krypton, xenon, vapors of sodium, potassium, rubidium and their mixtures with inert gases are given. Calculated data is a satisfactory agreement with the results of experiments published by various authors.
