电弧和热等离子体具有温度高、能量集中及气氛可控等特点,在电工、机械、化工和冶金等各种领域中都获及了愈来愈广泛的应用。赵文华编著的《电弧和热等离子体》一书,从热物理过程和电物理过程相结合的角度阐述了电弧和热等离子体的性质、特点及其工程应用。全书共分八章。第一章概述,主要介绍电弧和热等离子体的定义、概念、基本特点及其在各工业领域中的应用。第二章阐述了电弧弧柱的基本物理过程以及弧参数的分析求解方法。第二章和第四章 Arc and thermal plasma with high temperature, energy concentration and controllable atmosphere and other characteristics, in electrical, mechanical, chemical and metallurgical and other fields have been more and more widely used. Zhao Wenhua, ed., “Arc and Thermal Plasma,” describes the properties and engineering applications of arc and thermal plasma from the perspective of thermophysical and electrophysical processes. The book is divided into eight chapters. The first chapter is an overview, mainly introducing the definition, concept, basic characteristics of arc and thermal plasma and their applications in various industrial fields. The second chapter elaborates the basic physical process of arc arc column and the analytical solution of arc parameters. Chapter Two and Chapter Four
