In this paper, the solid shielding effects of the cylindrical quartz tubes with different inner diameters on the characteristics of the CAP jets driven by a radio-frequency(RF) power supply are studied experimentally. The experimental results show that the total length of the shielded plasma jet can be increased significantly by an appropriate combination of the quartz tube inner diameter and that of the plasma generator nozzle exit with other parameters being unchanged. This phenomenon may be qualitatively attributed to the loss of diffusion of the charged particles in the radial direction under different inner diameters of the quartz tubes. Compared with the plasma free jet, the plasma shielding jet is produced with optimized parameters including longer plasma jet length, higher concentrations of chemically reactive species, higher rotational, vibrational, and electron excitation temperatures when the inner diameters of the solid shielding tube and the generator nozzle exit are the same. A maximum plasma jet length of 52.0 cm is obtained in contrast to that of 5.0 cm of the plasma free jet in this study. The experimental results indicate that the solid shielding effect provides a new method for the active control of the local environment of the RF-CAP jet operating in an open atmosphere.展开更多

Ball scribing with spacing of 2 to 16 mm was performed at peak flux densities of 8.0 mT to 1.3 T. Magnetic shielding efficiency was calculated, including absorption, reflection and inner multi-reflection shielding efficiencies. Magnetic shielding efficiency （MSE） increase ratios after different scribing spacing were compared, and thickness requirement to achieve absorption shielding of 50 dB was also calculated. The results show that magnetic shielding efficiencies of C711 and H668 silicon steels increase by 4.79 and 3.15 dB respectively after scribing of 16 mm. Before scribing, shielding efficiency of H668 steel was higher than that of C711 steel, while after scribing, both absorption and shielding efficiency gaps were largely abridged between C711 and H668 steels. Plate thickness of C711 steel could be reduced from 3.18 mm without scribing to 2. 20 mm after scribing of 16 mm. There is no apparent thickness reduction at lower flux densities; while the peak flux density is above 0.3 T, the shielding effect becomes apparent, and the thickness could be reduced from 2.28 mm without scribing to 1.70 mm with scribing spacing of 16 ram. Magnetizing process and its effect on variation of magnetic shielding were also analyzed.展开更多
