Graph Theory Applied to Plasma Chemical Reaction Engineering

Abstract This work explores the following applications of graph theory to plasma chemical reaction engineering: assembly a weighted directional with key addition nodes, from published set data for air; visualisation probing network potentially useful or problematic pathways; running Dijkstra’s algorithm between all species nodes; further analysis engineering information such as which conditions, reactions, could be enhanced supressed favour particular outcomes, e.g. targeted formation. The use reaction-nodes combined derived parameters allowed large amounts regarding assessed simultaneously using leading open source software (Gephi). A connectivity matrix each two gave measure relative potential created and destroyed under specific conditions. Further investigation into led development quantify demand conditions formation: Optimal Condition Approaching via Reaction-In-Network Analysis (OCARINA). Predictions given by OCARINA display significant similarities well-known electric field strength regime optimal ozone production in air. Time dependent 0D simulations also showed preferential formation O· O 3 respective generated algorithm. These show identifying promising experiments devote resources.
