Can you say that thermal plasma is hot plasma and non-thermal plasma is cold plasma?
A plasma consists of an gas in which some gas atoms/molecules are ionised. If it is is in thermal equilibrium then in order to maintain the needed level of ionisation will require that the gas is very hot. Of the order of 4-5,000 degrees Celsius.
In a non-thermal plasma the electrons are hot enough to ionise the gas but the gas is at a different temperature. This can be achieved by heating the electrons by using a microwave or radio frequency field. As the electrons are light they do not exchange energy with the gas very efficiently. So in a non-thermal plasma the gas can be cold.
What else can I help you with?
In which direction does thermal energy flow, from hot to cold?
Yes, thermal energy flows from hot to cold.
How cold is lightning?
Its not cold its hot. Its so hot that it is considered to be a form of plasma.
When does a object has thermal energy when its hot or cold?
both
Which factor most determined how hot or cold something feels when you touch it?
Thermal conductivity most determines how hot or cold something feels when you touch it. The nerve endings in your skin determine what is hot and cold when you touch it.
How does my heat go from hot to cold?
There is no adequent heat- thermal.
What is transferred from a hot object to a cold object?
Thermal energy.
How does thermal energy transfer from hot objects to cold objects?
Thermal energy transfers from hot objects to cold objects through a process called conduction. This occurs when the particles in the hot object collide with the particles in the cold object, transferring energy and causing the cold object to heat up.
Can thermal energy be cold?
No, thermal energy cannot be cold. Thermal energy is a form of energy that is related to the temperature of an object or substance. Cold temperatures indicate a lower amount of thermal energy, while hot temperatures indicate a higher amount of thermal energy.
Can a container of hot water have the same thermal energy as a container of cold water?
No, it can't have the same thermal energy. The hot water loses energy to the surroundings. Cold is an absence of energy, as energy is removed the water becomes cold.
Why does hot chocolate have more thermal energy than cold chocolate milk?
because hot chocolate is hot and cold chocolate milk is cold. LOL i need a real awnser
What will happen when a hot piece of metal is attached to cold piece of metal?
Thermal energy will move from the hot to the cold until their temperatures are identical.
What is the movement of thermal energy from hot to cold called?
The movement of thermal energy from hot to cold is called heat transfer. Heat transfer occurs in three main ways: conduction, convection, and radiation.
