Scientific paper

Specimens of stony and iron meteorites as well as those of steel and basalt were exposed to a hot gas flow in an electrodeless arc plasmotron in order to study the size distribution of particles that separate during ablation. The size distribution of particles of remelt detached from the meteor body is well approximated by the log-normal law with two maxima which correspond to the following values of the aerodynamic mean particle diameters: 2-4 and 0.4-1.2 microns. The former is due to small particles formed by boundary effects in the process of the fragmentation of the melt flow, and the latter is due to the condensing particles. The mass loss rates obtained are in good agreement with the theoretical results of Bronshten (1983, 1985).
