Characteristics of the heating dynamics of a graphite conductor taking into account the skin effect

Calculations for a one-dimensional model of RF heating of a cylindrical graphite conductor have been carried out. The heating dynamics are analyzed in the general form. Conductor temperature profiles and the times for heating up to the graphite sublimation temperature as a function of current and frequency have been obtained. A model of conductor heating with partial return of the energy irradiated by the conductor surface has been considered. Frequency and current ranges have been determined to carry out this graphite sublimation method in a chamber with reflecting walls. The problem is associated with carbon vapor production and subsequent synthesis of fullerenes and other carbon structures.
