Bayesian model comparison using Gauss approximation on multicomponent mass spectra from CH4 plasma

چکیده

We performed Bayesian model comparison on mass spectra from CH 4 rf process plasmas to detect radicals produced in the plasma. The key ingredient for its implementation is the highdimensional evidence integral. We apply Gauss approximation to evaluate the evidence. The results were compared with those calculated by the thermodynamic integration method using Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique. In spite of very large difference in the computation time between two methods a very good agreement was obtained. Alternatively, a Monte Carlo integration method based on the approximated Gaussian posterior density is presented. Its applicability to the problem of mass spectrometry is discussed.

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 ...

Comparison of Estimates Using Record Statistics from Lomax Model: Bayesian and Non Bayesian Approaches

This paper address the problem of Bayesian estimation of the parameters, reliability and hazard function in the context of record statistics values from the two-parameter Lomax distribution. The ML and the Bayes estimates based on records are derived for the two unknown parameters and the survival time parameters, reliability and hazard functions. The Bayes estimates are obtained based on conju...

Decomposition of multicomponent mass spectra using Bayesian probability theory.

We present a method for the decomposition of the mass spectra of mixed gases using Bayesian probability theory. The method works without any calibration measurement and therefore applies also to the analysis of spectra containing unstable species. For the example of mixtures of three different hydrocarbon gases the algorithm provides concentrations and cracking coefficients of each mixture comp...

DFT calculation of the potential energy landscape topology and Raman spectra of type I CH4 and CO2 hydrates.

CO2 and CH4 clathrate hydrates of type I were studied by means of DFT and QTAIM, in order to better understand their properties at the molecular level. Sub-cells of type I hydrates were modeled as independent rigid cages, both empty and containing guest molecules. Interaction potentials of guest molecules inside each cage, and moving from a cell to the adjacent one, were calculated using the DF...

Ion Chemistry in Cold Plasmas of H 2 with Ch

The distributions of ions and neutrals in low pressure (≈ 10 mbar) DC discharges of pure hydrogen and of hydrogen with small admixtures (5%) of CH4 and N2 have been determined by mass spectrometry. Besides the mentioned plasma precursors, appreciable amounts of NH3 and C2Hx hydrocarbons, probably mostly from wall reactions, are detected in the gas phase. Primary ions, formed by electron impact ...
