On the influence of discharge parameters on thekinetics of plasma-assisted combustion of synthesis gas in air
Plasma-assisted combustion of syngas-air mixture is considered, when either air, or syngas, or their mixture is exposed to the discharge. Optimal reduced electric field values of the discharge in various configurations in terms of shortening the induction time are determined. It is shown that the afterglow processes taking place in the discharge products prior to mixing with other components of the combustible mixture can essentially vary the mechanism of the discharge action on the ignition.
