Abstrakt: Results are given of the experimental investigation of three-particle correlation for liquid plasma-dust structures formed in the electrode layer of a capacitive rf discharge. The obtained three-particle correlation functions for experimental and numerical data are analysed and compared with the superposition approximation. The forming of clusters of macroparticles in plasma-dust systems being analysed is revealed. The experiments in heat transfer were performed in plasma of a capacitive radio-frequency (rf) discharge in argon (P? 20?Pa) with particles 4?µm in mean diameter. The results are given of an experimental investigation of processes of heat transfer for fluid dust structures in rf-discharge. The analysis of steady-state, and unsteady-state heat transfer are used to obtain the thermal conductivity and diffusivity constants.
