Abstract

High-voltage gas circuit breakers are essential for maintaining the stability of power systems. Due to the strong greenhouse effect of SF<inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">6</inf> arc extinguishing medium, <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathrm{C}_{4}\mathrm{F}_{7}\mathrm{N}$</tex> mixture has become one of the most promising alternatives. In this work, a computational framework for thermodynamic properties and transport coefficients of two-temperature arcs in <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathrm{C}_{4}\mathrm{F}_{7}\mathrm{N}$</tex> plasma at critical interruption moments in the current-zero region is established. The non-equilibrium phenomena of <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathrm{C}_{4}\mathrm{F}_{7}\mathrm{N}$</tex> plasma are investigated to reveal the particle evolution behavior and physical properties under non-equilibrium conditions. The results indicate that with increasing non-equilibrium degree, the dissociation process of <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathrm{C}_{4}\mathrm{F}_{7}\mathrm{N}$</tex> molecules is suppressed, and the peak of specific heat at constant pressure of the plasma shifts towards higher temperatures. A higher non-equilibrium degree leads to a larger contribution of chemical reactions to gas thermal conductivity, resulting in a significant increase in the peak of thermal conductivity.
