Plasma Model for Energy Transformation Mechanism of Non-Thermal Microwave Effect

Effect of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has received great attention due to its noteworthy ability, and has also been widely studied over few decades in physics, biology and medicine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cold atmospheric pressure plasma effects on the proliferation of breast cancer cells. MDA-MB-231 was used for this experiment. MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in 24-well plate and...

Efficient, Modular Microwave Plasma Torch for Thermal Treatment

A high-efficiency and high-power atmospheric pressure plasma torch has been operated in air and nitrogen by modularly combining two 2.54 GHz microwave plasma sources. Each modular plasma device uses a shorted waveguide within which the plasma is sustained. They are arranged in series so the second torch adds all its power to the output of the first torch to produce one high power flame. Total m...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Energy Recovery Study for Polyethylene and Cotton by Thermal Plasma Degradation

Microwaves in organic synthesis. Thermal and non-thermal microwave effects.

Microwave irradiation has been successfully applied in organic chemistry. Spectacular accelerations, higher yields under milder reaction conditions and higher product purities have all been reported. Indeed, a number of authors have described success in reactions that do not occur by conventional heating and even modifications of selectivity (chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity). The effect of...
