Abstract Using a previously developed computer program, thermodynamic and transport properties of a typical arc furnace plasma are calculated in order to single out those species and / or reactions which exert a dominating influence on the properties of such complex mixtures. The results indicate that dissociation of molecular species in the arc furnace atmosphere has a strong effect on the specific heat and on the thermal conductivity of the mixture. The electrical conductivity is strongly affected by metallic vapors from the molten metal pool and the slag cover.
