AbstractThe vortex gas injection into plasma torch is considered as a method for reducing electrodes erosion. In order to investigate the effects of vortex gas injection on plasma structure, as well as the effect of gas viscosity on the rate of rotation, a three-dimensional nonequilibrium and time-dependent non-transferred DC plasma torch model has been simulated.

AbstractAntibacterial surfaces such as titanium coatings are able to have capability in the human body environment. In this study, titanium coatings are deposited on the 316 stainless steel substrates by a handmade plasma spray system. Some mechanical, chemical properties and microstructure of the created titanium layer are determined to evaluate the quality of coating. The […]
Thermal plasma treatment is considered as a suitable alternative for the treatment of highly-hazardous wastes such as industrial, radioactive and medical waste. Therefore, a Plasma-Gasification-Melting (PGM) system for treatment of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Wastes (CPW) with a capacity of 1 ton/day is developed using a melting and gasification furnace equipped with two non-transferred thermal plasma […]
In the present paper, the micron-size silver and titanium powder with desired weight ratios is used to produce the silver-titanium nanocomposite using the self-developed thermal plasma equipment. The mixture is fed into the plasma torch flame by the powder feed system and argon carrier gas. After evaporation, the particles are cooled inside the cooling chamber […]
