Improvement of lean blow out performance of spray and premixed swirled flames using nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges

Guillaume Vignat et al.

Summary: Plasma-Assisted Combustion (PAC) shows potential in improving ignition, extinction, and dynamic performance of combustion systems. Nanosecond Repetitively Pulsed (NRP) spark discharges are used to extend the lean blow out (LBO) limit of the SICCA-Spray burner by finding the optimal electrode position near the external edge of the outer recirculation zone (ORZ). The results indicate significant improvement in extinction performance with PAC, particularly when operating with liquid fuel spray injection.

Numerical investigations of turbulent premixed flame ignition by a series of Nanosecond Repetitively Pulsed discharges

Yacine Bechane et al.

Summary: Nanosecond Repetitively Pulsed (NRP) discharges are an efficient way to promote turbulent flame ignition, inducing ultra-fast species dissociation and heating phenomena. Computational simulations show that atomic O produced during the discharge process can enhance methane oxidation reactions, reducing the combustion chemistry time scale and increasing ignition success.

Kinetic study of plasma-assisted n-dodecane/O2/N2 pyrolysis and oxidation in a nanosecond-pulsed discharge

Hongtao Zhong et al.

Summary: This study investigates the kinetics of low-temperature pyrolysis and oxidation of n-dodecane/O-2/N-2 mixtures in a repetitive nanosecond discharge experimentally and numerically. Results show that a nanosecond discharge can greatly accelerate the pyrolysis and oxidation of n-dodecane at low temperatures, with electronically excited N-2* playing an important role. Addition of n-dodecane reduces NO concentration, indicating a strong NO kinetic effect on plasma-assisted low-temperature combustion.

Actuation efficiency of nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges for plasma-assisted swirl flames at pressures up to 3 bar

Francesco Di Sabatino et al.

Summary: The study found that different strategies of plasma actuation have varying effects on flame anchoring under different pressure conditions. High applied voltage and low pulse repetition frequency are preferable at atmospheric pressure, while the opposite is observed at elevated pressures. Additionally, a ratio of plasma power to thermal power of the flame around 1% is found to be the best compromise between a strong actuation of the flame and a reasonable deposited electrical power.

Quantitative measurement of atomic hydrogen in low-pressure methane flames using two-photon LIF calibrated by krypton

Nathalie Lamoureux et al.

Summary: In this study, the concentration profile of atomic hydrogen in low-pressure laminar premixed flames was measured using the two-photon laser-induced fluorescence technique. The calibration of signals from H-atom and krypton in flames allowed for accurate measurements and comparison with chemical modeling, demonstrating the effectiveness and robustness of the method.

Laser absorption measurements of electron density in nanosecond-scale atmospheric pressure pulsed plasmas

T. Yong et al.

Summary: This study reports time-resolved measurements of electron number density in low-energy nanosecond-scale laser-produced sparks in atmospheric pressure air using continuous-wave laser absorption. The plasma electron number densities decay rapidly over time, and are shown to be reasonably consistent with Stark broadening measurements of electronic transitions in atomic oxygen.
