Analysis of the electron energy distribution function and its transport coefficient in SF6-CO2 applied gas mixtuers

Abstract

The Boltzmann transport equation is used to calculate the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) and the transport coefficient in pure sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) and pure Carbon dioxide (CO₂) and their mixtures. The electron swarm parameters are evaluated in the range of These parameters namely are: The Diffusion coefficient of electrons and mean electron energy. The motion of electrons in plasma gas (SF₆) and mixing it with (CO₂) under an applied uniform electric field is simulated by using the numerical solution of
Boltzmann's transport equation technique. The numerical solutions are utilized within the international computer code kinema-Elendif and written in Fortran 77 language software. The calculated distribution function is found to be remarked non-Maxwillian that has energy variations which reflect the import electron-molecule energy exchange processes.
