Experimental study of streamers in pure N2 and N2/O2 mixtures and a ⛋13 cm gap

چکیده
Empirical data on streamer formation and propagation in near-atmospheric pressure N2 and N2/O2 mixtures are presented. The data were obtained primarily from high-speed, high-sensitivity shutter and streak photography of streamers produced in a ≈13 cm gap. The streamer propagation velocity as a function of applied voltage, polarity, total pressure, and O2 concentration are provided. In addition, information on streamer bifurcation, and streamer shape and size is included. The breakdown process has two phases: a fast phase featuring the propagation of streamers, and much slower phase involving the heating of the gas to form the spark channel. Also we found that the addition of O2 significantly alters the streamer characteristics and behavior, indicating that photoionization processes play an important role.

High-Temporal-Resolution, High-Sensitivity Imaging of Streamers in a Long Atmospheric Pressure Gap
We present time-resolved shutter photographs of streamers in a 13-cm gas-filled atmospheric pressure gap. The photographs show that in pure Nz, the streamers split readily in two. In mixtures containing 0 2 , on the other hand, this bifurcation is substantially reduced. AETHER [l], [2], Loeb [3], [4], and Meek [51 indeR pendently proposed similar mechanisms to explain the breakdown of relativel...

This research focuses on measurement of flame speed and combustion velocity in aluminum particle dust cloud combustion. The dust dispersion technique uses an annular high-speed jet which disperses dust continuously supplied via a piston-type dust feeding system. Pa...
متن کاملInvestigation of positive streamers by double-pulse experiments, effects of repetition rate and gas mixture
Streamer discharges are often operated in a repetitively pulsed mode and are therefore influenced by species left over from the previous discharge, especially free electrons and ions. We have investigated these effects by applying two consecutive positive high voltage pulses of 200–700 ns duration to a point-plane gap in artificial air, pure nitrogen, other nitrogen–oxygen mixtures and pure arg...

On the Mechanism of Asymmetric Aluminum Particle Combustion
The results of an experimental study of the combustion of single aluminum particles in N2/O2, Ar/O2, and He/O2 gas mixtures, and in pure O2 are presented and interpreted. This research focuses on identifying conditions under which asymmetric combustion of the aluminum particles develops. It also illustrates the relationship between aluminum particle combustion behavior and particle internal and...
