Transient Plasma Ignition for Delay Reduction of Ethene-Air Mixtures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents the results of transient plasma ignition for delay reduction of quiescent ethane-air mixture. The transient plasma was produced by repetitive pulses nanosecond discharge, 30 kV peak voltage, 70 ns pulse width and 2 kHz repetition rate. The effects initial conditions including equivalence ratio (RE=1), temperature of 300K, and pressure range of 50 to 200 kPa were evaluated. The ignition delays were reduced by up to 50% when compared to conventional capacitive discharge systems.
