Abstract This paper uses SF6,CO2,C3F8,and C5F10O as the main mediums,and reviews the advances of microscopic property calculation of arc plasma under equilibrium and non-equilibrium state during the past three decades. The studies of equilibrium arc plasma mainly dedicate to thermophysical properties,including compositions,thermodynamic properties,transport coefficients,and combined diffusion coefficients. For non-equilibrium arc plasma,the investigation of microscopic properties is based on the quantum chemistry theory to study chemical reactions and their reaction rates,which helps to build the two-temperature chemical kinetic model to describe the rule of particle concentration versus time.
