Abstract
The method of universal characteristics of an electric arc is described as a mathematical basis for the heat exchange model of an electric arc in the processes of electric arc heating in electrical engineering. Application of this method for calculation of the temperature characteristics of an arc column compressed by the walls of the discharge channel in the stabilization zone of a laminar plasma torch operating in air is considered. An example of the temperature profile calculation of a wall-stabilized arc for a plasma generator with a discharge channel diameter of 5 mm operating in air at an arc current of 60 A is presented. Calculated results are compared with the results of experimental studies of this plasma generator.
