Title: Dynamic thermal and radiative behaviors of a high pressure sodium lamp plasma

Journal Article · · Physics of Plasmas

The main purpose of the present work consists in the study of supply frequency and sodium vapor pressure effects on the sodium lamp properties. The retained model is a two-temperature channel type that reproduces quite well the electrical and thermal behaviors as well as the main radiative characteristics of mercury-sodium discharge plasma and can be easily coupled with the lamp circuitry software.
