Abstract
Mathematical modeling of characteristics of intense light source on the basis of high pressure pulse discharge in cesium vapor is performed. The investigated discharge is realized in a long ceramic tube from Al2O3 with an internal diameter of 5 mm. The amount of cesium in the discharge is determined by the value of the saturation pressure at the cold end of the tube. A current pulse with amplitude of 40 A to 250 A is periodically passed through the discharge plasma, with a frequency of 400- 1700 Hz. In the work, a mathematical model based on the equations of radiation gas dynamics is used to simulate discharge. When calculating heat exchange by radiation in plasma and light characteristics of discharge, direct integration of the radiation transfer equation is performed. The model takes into account two mechanisms for heating the walls of the gas discharge tube. Firstly, it is the molecular thermal conductivity of the near wall plasma and secondly, it is the absorption of discharge plasma radiation by walls. As a result of the simulation, the dependencies of plasma pressure and temperature, luminous flux and luminous efficacy of the discharge on the temperature of the cold tube end were investigated for different values of amplitudes of current pulses. It is shown that at all current amplitudes there is a pronounced maximum of luminous efficacy. In all studied modes of discharge combustion color rendering index exceeds Ra > 95. It is shown in particular that if the power embedded per unit of discharge length increases to 400 W/cm, the luminous flux reaches 36000 lm/cm.
