A Source of Nonequilibrium Argon Plasma Based on a Volume Gas Flow Discharge at Atmospheric Pressure

摘要

A fundamental approach is considered and an effective source of a spatially homogeneous volumetric nonequilibrium plasma based on a glow discharge at atmospheric pressure generated in an inhomogeneous electric field is developed. The main advantages of this discharge were revealed: high combustion uniformity, economy, and the possibility of scaling the structure over a wide range, while increasing the stability of its operation and providing a more uniform and effective effect of non-thermal bulk plasma on heat-sensitive surfaces.
