TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the fluid dynamics of the atomizing gas on the coating properties are presented, and the physical effects contributing to the observed adhesion improvements and interfacial properties are provided.

TL;DR: In this article, a thermal plasma seeded with vapor-phase precursors is supersonically expanded through a nozzle to nucleate ultrafine particles, which are then deposited by hypersonic impaction onto a temperature-controlled substrate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of process parameters on diamond film synthesis in DC thermal plasma jet reactors are discussed including substrate material, methane concentration and substrate temperature, and it has been found that increased methane concentrations result in smaller grain sizes due to the increased number of secondary nucleations on the existing facets of diamond crystals.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model has been formulated describing the influence of the arc condition and the cathode material and geometry on arc cathode erosion, and it has been shown that for high-current applications erosion can be minimized by using a cathode with a low vapor pressure, and that for these conditions the thermal design of the cathodes plays a secondary role.

TL;DR: A review of heat transfer literature published in 2004 in English language, including some translations of foreign language papers, is presented in this paper, where papers are grouped into subject-oriented sections and further divided into sub-fields.
