Comment on 'Experimental observation of carbon dioxide reductionin exhaust gas from hydrocarbon fuel burning'[Phys. Plasmas 16, 114502 (2009)]

摘要

The following comments are intended to clarify whether it is possible to convert CO_2into C +O_2bysupplying just one-twentieth of energy required thermodynamically, only under the condition thatthe negative high voltage of dc is applied to the gas stream perpendicularly, in a recent article byUhm and Kim [H. S. Uhm and C. H. Kim, Phys. Plasmas 16, 114502 (2009)]. Of particular concernis the disobedience of the first and second laws of thermodynamics together with the indistinctmeasurement of experimental data.
