Influence of Reduced Electric Field (E/N) on Plasma-Assisted Low-Temperature Oxidation

What is it about?

Plasma-assisted combustion (PAC) is emerging as a promising field as it can facilitate better combustion properties in regimes where it is normally difficult to achieve the desired level of performance. Total energy loading into the plasma depends on two parameters: Reduced electric field (E/N) and electron density (ne). E/N also governs energy branching in the electron impact processes.The main aim of the current work is to study the effect of reduced electric field (E/N) variation on premixed methane-air mixture oxidation at low temperature (< 500 K).
