Popis: A simple theoretical model describing physics of the plasma torch plume is developed in connection with its applications to the arc-plasma waste-treatment system. The theoretical analysis is carried out by making use of Bernoulli's pressure-balance equation, which provides a stable equilibrium solution of the gas density in the plume ejected from the torch into a high-pressure reactor chamber with 4e 1, there is no stable equilibrium solution satisfying Bernoulli's equation. Therefore, it is expected that the observable plasma data may change abruptly as the chamber pressure crosses the borderline defined by 4e = 1. Indeed, most of the plasma data measured in an experiment change abruptly at the pressure borderline of 4e = 1. The oxygen torch plume is theoretically analyzed for the arc-plasma waste-treatment system...
