Plasma Injectors Based on Rotating Gliding Discharge with Reverse Vortex Flow with Liquid Electrode

The researched plasma-liquid system was developed to create discharge that is compliant with industrial requirements. Current-voltage characteristics of discharge and their dependence on interelectrode dis-tance are obtained. The main components of plasma are presented based on spectroscopy results. Meas-ured electron, vibrational and rotational temperatures prove that system is able to generate non-equilibrium discharge plasma at atmospheric pressure without severe electrode erosion

Hybrid Plasma-Catalytic Reforming of Ethanol into Synthesis Gas: Experiment and Modeling

Understanding of the plasma-assisted reforming of hydrocarbons requires a combined application of the experimental studies of reforming systems and the kinetics modeling of reforming processes. Experiments were conducted on a system with a wide-aperture rotating gliding discharge with atmospheric air used as a plasma gas. Reforming parameters essential for the kinetics modelling of the reforming process were obtained. The influence of water addition method on the product composition of plasma-catalytic ethanol reforming was investigated

The Rotating Gliding Discharge in Quartz Tube and Open Half-Space at Atmospheric Pressure

Rotating sliding discharge (RGD) was investigated into limited volume and open half-space. The cur-rent-voltage characteristics of the discharge and its specifications are described. The results of optical research: photos and emission spectra of the discharge are presented

Plasma reforming of liquid hydrocarbon in plasma - liquid systems

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of plasma-assisted reforming of ethanol into molecular hydrogen in a modified tornado type electrical discharge. Plasma acts as a catalyst and initiates fast chain reactions that do not progress under normal conditions. Passivation of the electrodes in the discharge chamber during the discharge operation prevents their erosion and increases the working time of the reactor
