hasProperty
- Air plasma, not contaminated by vapours released from the electrodes. The plasma chemistry involves 11 species (e, N2, O2, NO, N, O, N2+, O2+, NO+, N+, and O+). It is assumed that the plasma behaves like a fluid, in which the heavy particles (neutrals and ions) are in thermal equilibrium at a common temperature T, while the electrons are characterized by a Maxwellian velocity distribution function with a temperature Te.
- Plasma parameters: electric potential, temperatures of electron and heavy particles, number densities of charged and neutral species
- Properties of the medium (air, Cu): plasma chemistry involves 13 species, heavy particles in thermal equilibrium at a common temperature T, electrons characterized by a Maxwellian velocity distribution function with a temperature Te
