Modeling of Plasma Remediation of NO from Diesel Exhaust for Military Engines

摘要

Plasma remediation is a technique whereby toxins in atmospheric pressure gasstreams can be treated or removed. In this research project computer models for plasma remediation of NOx and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from air streams have been developed and parameterized. The goals of this project are to determine the dominant reaction mechanisms and to propose methods to optimize the energy efficiency of the process.
