Abstract Methane (CH4) is inexpensive, high in heating value, relatively low in carbon
footprint compared to coal, and thus a promising energy resource. However, the locations of …

As the world races toward its urban future, the quantity of wastes, one of the vital by-products
of an enhancement in the standards of living, is exponentially rising. The treatment of wastes …

Plasma-based nitrogen fixation for fertilizer production is an attractive alternative to the fossil
fuel-based industrial processes. However, many factors hinder its applicability, eg, the …

Plasma waste treatment has over the past decade become a more prominent technology
because of the increasing problems with waste disposal and because of the realization of …

DC arc fault introduces major safety concerns in a wide variety of components in dc
networks. However, the randomness and instability of dc arc makes it difficult to be detected …

Arc plasma torches are the primary components of various industrial thermal plasma
processes involving plasma spraying, metal cutting and welding, thermal plasma CVD …

This paper presents a dc arc model to simplify the study of a critical issue in dc microgrids:
series faults. The model is derived from a hyperbolic approximation of observed arc voltage …

Arc plasma sprayed thin films and coatings exhibit excellent mechanical properties for anti-
corrosion, anti-wear, anti-radiation, thermal isolation, and heat conduction applications …

Thermal barrier coatings used to protect the blades of aircraft and gas turbine engines are
primarily ceramic coatings with unique microstructures result of the deposition method used …

A two-temperature thermal non-equilibrium model is developed and applied to the three-
dimensional and time-dependent simulation of the flow inside a dc arc plasma torch. A …
