If only heat conduction and radiative losses are considered for the neutral system, as well as the interaction with the electrons, the plasma parameters that determine the gas temperature will be the elastic absorbed power per electron and the electron number density. In a first approximation the axial dependence of the neutral gas temperature can be considered lineal with the product of these two parameters.application/pdf7 p.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.1063/1.1425412
