Abstract
Based on computational and full-scale experiments, several algorithms have been developed for processing current–voltage curves obtained for flat wall and remote probes in the case of a weakly ionized low-temperature collisional plasma. The proposed diagnostic methods could be useful for specialists employing technological plasmatrons in various sectors of the national economy such as plasma chemistry, plasma-enhanced deposition, plasma processing of materials, gas-extraction and petroleum-production industries, in aviation and rocket engineering, and in other fields.
