Used in print:(Raymond C. Binder et al., editors, Proceedings...)
In plasma generators as currently commercially available for industrial use or as high_temperature research tools often more than 50 % of the total energy input is being transferred to the cooling medium of the anode .
In plasma generators the superimposed forced convection may modify the picture somewhat .
The gas flow through a plasma generator will modify these conditions ; however , the anode is still the part receiving the largest heat flux .
An attempt to improve the life of the anodes or the efficiency of the plasma generators must , therefore , aim at a reduction of the anode loss .
