Abstract

The problem is to determine the electrical and thermal conductivities of high pressure are plasmas from measurements of the current—voltage characteristics of the are and a single radial temperature profile. A new numerical method is described together with the corresponding computer program. The latter is applied to some recent measurements on wall-stabilized nitrogen ares, covering the temperature range 4500—11,000 °K, for which radiation can be neglected, and the results are compared with those of other workers.
