    Notes: Abstract Drag force on a metallic or nonmetallic spherical particle exposed to a plasma flow is studied for the extreme case of a free-molecule regime. Analytical expressions are derived for the drag components due to, respectively, atoms, ions, and electrons and for the total drag on the whole sphere due to all the gas species. It has been shown that the drag is proportional to the square of the particle radius or the drag coefficient is independent of the particle radius. At low gas temperatures with a negligible degree of ionization, the drag is caused mainly by atoms and could be predicted by using the well-known drag expression given in ordinary-temperature rarefied gas dynamics. On the other hand, the drag is caused mainly by ions at high plasma temperatures with a great degree of ionization. The contribution of electrons to the total drag is always negligible. Ignoring gas ionization at high plasma temperatures would overestimate the particle drag. There is a little difference between metallic and nonmetallic spheres in their total drag forces, with a slightly higher value for a metallic sphere at high plasma temperatures, but usually such a small difference could be neglected in engineering calculations. The drag increases rapidly with increasing gas pressure or oncoming speed ratio. For a two-temperature plasma, the drag increases at low electron temperatures but decreases at high electron temperatures with the increase in the electron/heavy-particle temperature ratio.

    Notes: Abstract Analytical results are presented concerning the unsteady heating of a metallic spherical particle innnersed in a rarefied plasma. The results show that the tinte periods required for the solid-phase heating, melting, liquid-phase heating, and evaporation are all proportional to the particle radius. For estimating the time needed for the solid-phase heating and that for the melting, the additional heat transfer rmechanism due to the thermionic emission front the particle surface is usually negligible since the surface temperatures of the particle heated in the plasma are, in general, compartively low during those heating steps. Thermionic emission assumes its effect only as the higher surface temperatures of the heated particle are involved (e.g., higher than 4000 K), while radiation loss shows its effects at much lower wall temperatures. As the plasma temperature is comparatively low, radiation heat loss may restrict the surface temperature of a particle to such a low value that the effect of thermionic emission on the overall heating time can he neglected and complete evaporation of refractor y metallic particles becomes impossible. The uncertainty in the calculation of the effect of thermionic emission is associated with the choice of the value of the effective work function for the particle material.

    Drag force acting on an evaporating particle immersed in a rarefied plasma flow (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Analytical expressions are presented for the drag force acting on an evaporating or nonevaporating particle immersed in a plasma flow for the extreme case of free-molecule flow regime and thin plasma .sheath. It is shown that the drag force on a spherical particle is proportional to the square of the particle radius and to the relative velocity between the particle and the bulk plasma at low speed ratios. The existence of a relative velocity between the particle and the plasma results in a nonuniform heat flux distribution with its rnaximum value at the frontal stagnation point of tire sphere. This nonuniform distribution of the local heat fux density causes a nonuniforrn distribution of the local evaporated-mass flux and vapor reaction force around the surface of an evaporating particle, and thus induces an additional force on the particle. Consequently, the drag force acting on art evaporating particle is always greater than that on a nonevaporating one. This additional drag force due to particle evaporation is more significant for nonmetallic particles and for particle materials with lower latent heat of evaporation and lower vapor molecular mass. It increases with increasing plasma temperature and with decreasing gas pressure at the high plasma temperatures associated with appreciable gas ionization. The drag ratio increases with increasing electron/heavy-particle temperature ratio at high electron temperatures for a two-temperature plasma.

    Notes: Abstract Heat transfer from a plasma flow to a metallic or nonmetallic spherical particle is studied in this paper for the extreme case of free-molecule flow regime. Analytical expressions are derived for the heat flux due to, respectively, atoms, ions, and electrons and for the floating potential on the sphere exposed to a two-temperature plasma flow. It has been shown that the local or average heat flux density over the whole sphere is independent of the sphere radius and approximately in direct proportion to the gas pressure. The presence of a macroscopic relative velocity between the plasma and the sphere causes substantially nonuniform distributions of the local heat flux and enhances the total heat flux to the sphere. The heat flux is also enhanced by the gas ionization. Appreciable difference between metallic and nonmetallic spheres is found in the distributions along the oncoming flow direction of the floating potential and of the local heat flux densities due to ions and electrons. The total heat flux to the whole sphere is, however, almost the same for these different spheres. For a fixed value of the electron temperature, the heat flux decreases with increasing temperature ratio Te/Th.
