INFLUENCE OF THE SIZE FACTOR ON THE ACCURACY 
OF VOLT-AMPERE CHARACTERISTICS OF  A  VORTEX 
ELECTRIC-ARC PLASMATRON WITH TUBULAR ELECTRODES

Statistical  methods of  analysis  are  used  to  study 
the influence of  a change in  the  electrode  diameter 
on  the accuracy  of  the  volt-ampere  characteristics 
(VACs)  of  a vortex  electric-arc plasmatron operating 
with  technical  nitrogen. It is  shown that when  each 
initial  parameter is allowed  for  separately and  the 
VACs  are  represented  by  an  empirical  formula, the 
influence of a change in the diameter is insignificant. 
When  all  the  initial  parameters   are  allowed  for 
simultaneously in one dominant criterion in the case of 
approximation of VACs by a generalized expression,  the 
effect of the size factor proves to be substantial.
