Chemical Kinetics of Methane Pyrolysis in Microwave Plasma at Atmospheric Pressure

Numerical Investigations of Chemical Kinetics for Methane Catalysis and Pyrolysis

In the framework of the active and regenerative cooling of hypersonic and space structures, a kinetic mechanism should be proposed to investigate numerically the fuel pyrolysis and the coke formation with a possible surface effect (catalytic reactions). This chemical mechanism should be suitable for Computational Fluid Dynamics approach (limited number of species and reaction). For this purpose...

Chemical Kinetics in Air Plasmas at Atmospheric Pressure

The chapter, after a general introduction concerning plasmas produced in air at atmospheric pressure, describes the chemical kinetics happening in the plasma gas-phase, focusing on the nitrogen oxides mechanism of formation and elimination. After a general review of the chemical kinetic pattern, we discuss dielectric barrier discharges and their use for NOx remediation. In fact, research concer...

Plasma-Chemical Kinetics of Film Deposition in Argon-Methane and Argon-Acetylene Mixtures Under Atmospheric Pressure Conditions

An Atmospheric Pressure Microwave Plasma Torch

Microwave plasma sources at atmospheric pressure have a variety of different applications and therefore are object of intense research. This paper covers the spectroscopic investigation of an atmospheric pressure microwave plasma torch and experiments concerning the abatement of the perfluorinated compounds CF4 and SF6. By means of optical emission spectroscopy the gas temperature of a humid ai...
