Plasma assisted combustion : Interaction of a flat flame with a nanosecond dielectric barrier discharge plasma

Using of non-equilibrium Plasma-assisted for ignition, combustion and high speed flow applications are rapidly developing in the last decades due to its ability to produce a large amount of radicals and excited species. Which has a great potential in flame stabilization and emission control. Although many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of plasma to enhance combustion properties, the detailed enhancement mechanism is still highly unknown. Toward a better understanding of the flame behavior under plasma effect, a one dimensional flame structure setup integrated with a non-thermal plasma source has been designed.
