Effects of inter-pulse coupling on nanosecond pulsed high frequency discharge ignition in a flowing mixture

Xingqian Mao et al.

Summary: This study numerically investigates the effects of non-equilibrium nanosecond plasma discharge on the critical ignition volume, minimum ignition energy, and chemistry in a plasma-assisted H2/air flow. It examines the interactions between discharges/ignition kernels in different regimes and analyzes the impact of flow velocity and pulse number on ignition enhancement. The findings reveal that flow velocity increases the minimum ignition energy and that the minimum critical ignition volume decreases with the increase of plasma discharge energy. Sequential two-pulse discharges show ignition failure in certain regimes but succeed in the fully-coupled regime at a shorter inter-pulse time. The study also demonstrates that an optimal pulse repetition frequency and pulse number can achieve effective ignition enhancement.

Measurements of atoms and metastable species in N2 and H2-N2 nanosecond pulse plasmas

Xin Yang et al.

Summary: This study examines the role of the electronic excited states of N-2(A(3)Sigma(+)(u)) molecules in the dissociation of N2 in plasmas. It is found that energy pooling in collisions between N-2(A(3)Sigma(+)(u)) molecules plays a major role in N2 dissociation. Additionally, the rapid quenching by H atoms leads to a significant reduction in N-2(A(3)Sigma(+)(u)) populations and the rate of N atom generation.

T. Huiskamp et al.

Summary: In this paper, we presented a solid-state nanosecond pulse source that is capable of generating arbitrary waveforms for pulsed discharge generation. The study demonstrated the control of discharge propagation using stepped waveforms, while showing little effect of rise-time variation. Differences in streamer velocity and structure were observed between discharges in nitrogen and air for the same applied voltage waveform.

Summary: Using nonthermal plasma (NTP) for CO2 hydrogenation is a promising approach to overcome the limitations of traditional thermal catalysis. This study investigates the catalytic surface reaction dynamics of NTP-activated CO2 hydrogenation using experimental and computational methods. The results show that NTP greatly improves CO2 conversion and selectivity compared to thermal conditions, and breaks the thermodynamic equilibrium limitation.

Stepwise development of atmospheric pressure plasma jet driven by bursts of high-voltage nanosecond pulses at multi-tens MHz

Saikang Shen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the development processes and mechanisms of a helium atmospheric pressure plasma jet driven by bursts of high-voltage nanosecond pulses. It is found that the first pulse-driven discharge channel serves as an extension of the high-voltage electrode, and the second discharge starts at the end of the first channel. The guided streamer propagates stepwise under the driving of the bursts of high-voltage nanosecond pulses. Shortening the cable length increases the equivalent pulse frequency and significantly extends the plasma jet length.

Summary: The study found that shortening the inter-pulse time can improve both the efficiency and conversion rate of plasma reactions.
