The pyrolysis property of a pulsed plasma of methane

This study examined the discharge property of methane in a pulsed plasma using single and sequential pulse modes, A pulsed corona discharge occurred, followed by a pulsed spark discharge. An equivalent single channel model (ESC model) for the pulsed plasma of methane was established. The maximum temperature of methane in the discharge channel was estimated. The pyrolysis property of the channel methane was estimated from Senkin simulation and single channel discharge experiment.
