Abstract
The properties of an electric arc ignited in a gas discharge plasma flow with a liquid electrolyte cathode are experimentally investigated. Aqueous solutions of sodium chloride with a specific electrical conductivity of 10-15 mS/cm were used as a liquid electrolyte. The distance between the anode and the liquid electrolyte cathode was set in the range of 5-60 mm, and the distance between the anode and the metal cathode was varied in the range of 2-30 mm. The current of gas discharge with a liquid electrolyte cathode was set in the range of 5-10 A, and the arc current varied in the range of 1-10 A. The conditions under which the arc burns with the formation of a contracted channel are revealed.
