Thermophysics and Aeromechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

Estimation criteria for contribution of the main energy sources and sinks to complex heat transfer of the rod thermal cathodes were obtained for the quasi-one-dimensional statement of the heat problem. Criterial relationships allow determination for operation temperatures of the high-current long cathodes. A method for optimization of the electrode thermal state was developed. Calculations by the criterial method correlate with the experimental results.
