• Experimental Characterization of a Low-Current Cutting Torch. 

    Kelly, Héctor; Mancinelli, Beatriz; Prevosto, Leandro; Minotti, Fernando; Márquez, Andrés (2004)
    An experimental characterization of a low-current (30-40 A) cutting torch is presented. To avoid contamination of the plasma arc by removed anode material, a rotating steel cylinder was used as the anode and the arc ...
  • Hydrodynamic Model for the Plasma-Gas Flow in a Cutting Torch Nozzle. 

    Kelly, Héctor; Minotti, Fernando; Prevosto, Leandro; Mancinelli, Beatriz (2004)
    We present a simple hydrodynamic model to obtain the profiles of the relevant physical quantities along a nozzle of arbitrary cross-section in a cutting torch. The model uses a two-zone approximation (a hot central ...
