Plasma-catalytic dry reforming of methane in an atmospheric pressure AC gliding arc discharge

Dry Reforming of Methane Using Cold Plasma; Kinetic Model Study

In this work, the dry reforming of methane was studied using a corona and gliding discharge plasma microreactors. A chemical kinetic model was developed to describe the experimental behavior observed. The kinetic model is proposed based on the assumption that the reactant molecules CH4 or CO2 are attacked by active species produced b...

Sustained diffusive alternating current gliding arc discharge in atmospheric pressure air

Temperature measurement of an atmospheric pressure arc discharge

The CN B 2 -X 2 + molecular emission spectrum is used to measure both the vibrational and rotational temperatures in atmospheric pressure arc jet discharges. The vibrational and rotational temperature effects on the synthetic diatomic molecular spectra were investigated from the v ,v = 0,0 band to the 5,5 band. The temperatures obtained from the synthetic spectra compared with the experimental ...

Hydrodynamic limit for an arc discharge at atmospheric pressure

In this paper we study a partially ionized plasma that corresponds to an arc discharge at atmospheric pressure. We derive an inviscid hydrodynamic/diffusion limit, characterized by two temperatures, from a system of Boltzmann type transport equations modelling that plasma problem. The original property of this system is that impact ionization is a leading order collisional process. As a consequ...

Kinetic Model Study of Dry Reforming of Methane Using Cold Plasma

ABSTRACT In this work, the dry reforming of methane was studied using a corona and glow discharge plasma microreactors. A chemical kinetic model was developed to understand the reaction better. The modelization allowed prediction of the reactants conversion according to the energy transfer to the gas (P×τ). The β value is trait of the energy cost, whatever this value was leeser indicated ...
