Keywords:
Conduction, Convection, Radiation, Arc Heat Flow, Thermal
Conductivity-Gas, Heat Flux, Fouriers Law, Conservation of
Energy, Moving Heat Source, Thermal Cycles
CONDUCTION - Transfer of Thermal Energy
between one part of a body and an Adjacent
part of the same body or between one body and
another which is in physical contact with it.

CONVECTION - Transfer of Thermal Energy


through mass movement.

RADIATION - Transfer of Thermal Energy by


the emission and absorption of Electromagnetic
Radiation.

Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.):
The thermal conductivity of Argon and Helium increases
continuously with increasing temperature, but that of
nitrogen and hydrogen show a drop in conductivity where
the diatomic gas atom dissociates. What do you think would
happen if a significant amount of these gases were in the arc
plasma?

This curve was generated when a fast moving arc passed

by the thermocouples. What curves would a slow moving


arc produce?
