This paper reviews optical measurements of reactive species in atmospheric-pressure
nonthermal plasmas: streamer discharge, dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), plasma jet, and …

As the low temperature non-equilibrium plasma, microwave plasma has the same effects
with the plasma produced by the traditional high voltage electrode, which has the function of …

Dynamic processes in a gliding arc plasma generated between two diverging electrodes in
ambient air driven by 31.25 kHz AC voltage were investigated using spatially and temporally …

This effort explores the microwave-supported plasma enhancement of an aluminized,
ammonium perchlorate composite solid propellant flame. The technique is enabled through …

Irradiating a flame via microwave radiation is a plasma-assisted combustion (PAC)
technology that can be used to modify the combustion chemical kinetics in order to improve …

Energy and conversion efficiencies of the carbon dioxide (CO 2) dissociation process at
atmospheric-pressure conditions are investigated using a direct-coupled continuous …

To study the combustion process of fuel in the microwave plasma torch, we designed a
butane microwave plasma device exploiting a tungsten rod as an electrode. Through …

Microwave technology has been demonstrated as a promising candidate for utilizing fossil
fuel in a carbon-efficient manner to ensure energy supply security during the transition to the …

We report a novel microwave plasma-assisted combustion (PAC) system that is developed
as a new test platform to study roles of plasma in PAC. The system included two major …

Due to the depletion of conventional petroleum-based fuels and increasing environmental
concerns, industries have been developing new combustion technologies with acceptable …
