Khvedchin We investigate numerically the dependence of the characteristics of a mineral powder raw-material melt film exposed to a plasma jet on the geometric and operating parameters of the reactor and plasmatron in the process of the production of ultra- and superthin microfibers. In recent times, electric-arc plasma is finding wider application in the production of mineral fibers [1, 2 ]. The application of plasma methods of fiber formation makes it possible to raise the quality of the product obtained, decrease the specific energy expenditures and to minimize the amount of the production equipment; this, in turn, leads to a decrease in capital outlays. Plasma separation of a raw-material-melt jet into superfine fibers [3, 4 ] has already found industrial application, with the economic feasibility of the method being confirmed. However, the most promising seems to be a technological process in which melting of the starting raw material occurs as a result of its interaction with a plasma flow and when the melt formed is drawn as fibers by this very flow. In such a case the entire technological process, from the s
