摘要
The knowledge of two-temperature transport coefficients is of interest in the modelling of flow in plasma processes and heat transfer. The transport coefficients in argon-helium plasmas at atmospheric pressure are calculated assuming that the kinetic electron temperature, T-e, is different from that of the heavy species, T-h. The electrical conductivity, the viscosity, the total thermal conductivity and the combined diffusion coefficients are calculated up to 30000 K. The influence of the molar percentage of argon as well as that of the non-equilibrium parameter theta=T-e/T-h are investigated. The plasma composition is calculated using the modified Saha equation of van den Sanden et at. The most recent data to obtain collision integrals are also presented. It is shown that the viscosity and the combined diffusion coefficients strongly depend on theta, through the plasma composition and the collision integrals. The ion-dominated regime occurs all the more quickly as theta is high, resulting in a regime of interactions between charged species which induces a decrease of the viscosity and the combined diffusion coefficients. The electrical conductivity, which is directly linked to the electron number density, and the thermal conductivity increase as theta increases.
