'Cold' material in non-thermal sources

Insulating Material Erosion in Atmospheric Non- Thermal Plasma Jet Device

This paper reports on the selection of insulating material types in a developed atmosphericpressure non-thermal plasma jet (ANPJ-II) device which was operated previously in our laboratory based on the minimum erosion area of the insulator’s nozzle. Three identical insulator groups used in our experiment include; Teflon insulator material with different thicknesses of 1.5 mm and 2 mm respectivel...

Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma sources for biomedical applications

It was presented that various types of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma sources operated with low frequency(~kHz) or microwave frequency feeding argon or helium gas, or in the ambient air could be used for the treatment of cancer cells, sterilization, tooth whitening, and blood coagulation. The antibody-conjugated GNPs enhanced to kill cancer cells exposed to plasmas. The plasmas treatme...

Thermal material in relativistic jets

The properties of thermal material coexisting with non–thermal emitting plasma and strong magnetic field in the powerful jets of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are examined. Theoretical and observational constraints on the physical properties of this ‘cold’ component are determined. While the presence of a thermal component occupying a fraction ∼ 10 of the jet volume is possible, it seems unlikel...

Use of phase change material (PCM) for the improvement of thermal performance of cold storage

Latent heat storage using phase change materials (PCMs) is one of the most efficient methods to store thermal energy. Therefore, PCM have been applied to increase thermal energy storage capacity of different systems. The use of PCM provides higher heat storage capacity and more isothermal behaviour during charging and discharging compared to sensible heat storage. Moreover, thermal energy stora...
