Based on a previously published work, calculations of the minimum plasma gas flow rate for torch tubes of various dimensions have been performed Predicted minimum rates have been verified by experiment It is possible to sustain a discharge at 600 W and 6 L/min without reducing drastically the external size of the torch One of the main parameters in torch design is the various flow velocities The main influence on the plasma gas flow rate is provided by the space between the external and the intermediate tube A practical design is proposed and a comparison is made with the literature

In this article, electrical characteristics of a high-power inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) torch operating at 3 MHz are determined by direct measurement of radio-frequency (RF) current and voltage together with energy balance in the system. The variation of impedance with two parameters, namely the input power and the sheath gas flow rate for a 50 kW ICP is studied. The ICP torch system is operated at near atmospheric pressure with argon as plasma gas. It is observed that the plasma resistance increases with an increase in the RF-power. Further, the torch inductance decreases with an increase in the RF-power. In addition, plasma resistance and torch inductance decrease with an increase in the sheath gas flow rate. The oscillator efficiency of the ICP system ranges from 40% to 80% with the variation of the Direct current (DC) powers. ICP has also been numerically simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to predict the impedance profile. A good agreement was found between the CFD predictions and the impedance experimental data published in the literature.

The effects of nebulization conditions on the size characteristics of the aqueous aerosol produced have been investigated for a cross-flow nebulizer. It is shown that the nebulizer gas flow rate does not affect the upper limit mean sizes of the aqueous droplets transported from the nebulization chamber but that the mean size of the analyte-containing aerosol itself is affected. Model equations are presented descriptive of the effects of gas flow rate and analyte concentrations on analyte aerosol size characteristics.

An inductively coupled plasma torch has been developed which utilizes linear coolant gas flows and is operated at reduced applied power levels and argon gas consumption rates. The linear flow torch (LiFT) is constructed by the addition of a machined insert between the outer and intermediate tubing of a conventional tangential flow torch (TaFT). This LiFT configuration has been demonstrated to be capable of providing improved detection limits, in comparison to a TaFT, at conditions of lower power and gas flow. Under those conditions the LiFT was also demonstrated to produce less severe interferences to analyte emission in the presence of an easily ionizable element.

This paper describes the results of the first stage of an investigation designed to extend present knowledge of the factors affecting aerosol production, transport, vaporization, and atomization in analytical spectroscopy systems. It focuses on factors controlling aspiration of aqueous solutions. The results demonstrate that the effect of gas flow on the pressure drop induced at the tip of the solution draw tube can be described by a simple linear equation; that the relationship between gas flow rate and solution nebulization rate can also be modelled by a simple equation; and that these relationships are not adequately represented by the Hagen-Poiseulle equation, as is often claimed.
