Abstract :
This paper presents numerical simulation of radiative transfer in the discharge chamber of the hybrid-stabilized argon-water electric arc. Results of simulation for 300-600 A and argon mass flow rates of 22.5-40 slm reveal that a significant amount of radiation is being reabsorbed in arc fringes.
