Plasma property functions of H2O-Ar plasma were calculated using nonisothermal plasma composition and nonisothermal thermodynamic and transport properties at the temperatures 300 K to 50 000 K and pressure 0.1 MPa. Effect of plasma properties on performance characteristics of hybrid water/argon plasma torch is described by the functions defined using the simple arc model based on the solution of the energy balance equation of the arc column. The results show an imortant dependence of plasma property functions on the ratio.
