Abstract

Plasma jet generated by water-argon plasma torch is enriched by copper evaporated from the anode sur-face. In this contribution we present results of measurement of emission spectral lines of neutral copper along the jet. We are able to monitor presence of copper vapors in the jet and in addition we use copper lines to obtain excitation temperature. This temperature seems to represent kinetic temperature of turbu-lent downstream regions of the jet with good accuracy.
