Lecture

Industrial Plasmas: Applications and Challenges

Description

This lecture covers the diverse applications of industrial plasmas, including medical treatments, microelectronics, and space industry. It delves into the complexities of plasma chemistry, discussing reactions, collisions, and energy transfer mechanisms. The instructor explains the difficulties in achieving plasma chemistry, comparing it with fusion processes. Key concepts such as breakdown criteria, Paschen's law, and Townsend coefficients are explored in detail, shedding light on the fundamental principles governing plasma behavior. The lecture also touches upon the significance of low-pressure, non-equilibrium plasmas in various industrial processes. Examples and numerical simulations are used to illustrate the concepts discussed, providing a comprehensive overview of the practical aspects of industrial plasma applications.
