Distribution Function for Nonlinear Potential Gradient High Pressure Plasma

Abstract:

The effect of carbon ion species distribution in arc discharge process becomes significant for the formation of carbon nanomaterial. It is essential to account for the velocity distribution of each carbon ion species to determine the greatest contribution from the kinetic energy possesses by each species that govern the binding energy for carbon formation. The resultant speed of the particle as a result of collisions determines the resultant force exerted by the particles which consider in non-conservative force. The variation of velocity distribution is investigated while the reaction rate for carbon species during kinematic process, the transient condition for carbon species is analyzed. Collision rate of carbon ion species is underway to derive carbon ion motion in electrode gap region where the external electric field is constant. The theoretical development has shown that at constant pressure and temperature, carbon ion species possess the resultant speed due to collision frequency affecting the distribution function quantified for each species.
