Non-equilibrium plasma for ignition and combustion enhancement

This review is intended to give an overview of recent results on plasma-assisted ignition and combustion. The influence electrical discharges combustion processes introduced, the excited species radicals present in large quantity plasma are detailed. A description theoretical problems related modeling given, elucidating role states enhancing reaction rates. Then some experiments reported, focused fundamental aspects effects high pressure improving To conclude, applications for detonation presented, activated by different kinds discharges.
