In this study it was calculated RF ICP plasma torch by frequency 28 MHz; power 2-4 kW, inner diameter of the torch 24 mm, plasma gas - argon. Plasma torch has three axial gas flows: sheath gas G1 = 20 l/min, plasma gas G2 = 2.4 l/min, transport gas G3 = 3.4 l/min. Calculations have been performed within the frame of the method of the control volume. The results show that the injection of transport gas in the axis plasma zone leads to a strong disturbance of a thermal equilibrium and a cooling of the axis zone. %8 2012-03-20
