Abstract

Thermal conductivities of binary gas systems are calculated on the basis of 12-6 Lennard-Jones and rigid sphere inter-atomic interaction approximations for the case of gas discharges in He and Ne with small admixtures of copper, bromine, hydrogen and strontium. Assuming that the gas temperature varies only in the radial direction and using the calculated thermal conductivities, an analytical solution of the steady-state heat conduction equation is found for two discharge tube constructions. Two cases of uniform and non-uniform power input are considered. For both cases the average gas temperature is found by averaging the radial gas temperature distribution over the radius. Measurement of the relative intensities of some He and Ne spectral lines, originating from different upper levels, has enabled us to determine the average electron temperature.
