Accumulation of plastic solid waste is a large share of municipal solid waste (MSW). Thermochemical treatment processes are a vital component of a sustainable integrated MSW management since they reduce the volume of the waste significantly. In conjunction with our efforts to develop ... Read More
Atmospheric-pressure plasma jets (APPJ) are devices that generate chemically reactive species and operate at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature for a wide range of applications. Plasmas jets produce charged particles (electrons and ions), neutral metastable species, radicals, ... Read More
Although SF6 gas is characterized by a strong global warming potential, traditionally, it has been employed universally as the dielectric insulation gas for most electrical equipment because of its excellent technical performances. With the emergence of environmental regulations for ... Read More
In 2016 the group of experimentalists from the Institute of High Current Electronics (Tomsk, Russian Federation) have been discovered a novel phenomenon related to atmospheric plasma jets that was called an “apokamp” (originated from Greek words “off the bend”). This new plasma jet ... Read More
A power supply is generally used in many electrical devices. In order to deliver uniform power irrespective of time variation, most plasma equipment also uses a power source. Therefore, the power condition in plasma simulations is essential. In time-dependent models using a current ... Read More
Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) [1] is a plasma thruster being researched at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It has been shown in Figure 1. It involves a helicon source along with an Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) chamber. IEC is a fusion ... Read More
Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) [1] is an advanced space propulsion system being studied in University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It has been depicted in Figure 1. An experimental setup is already being used to gather dynamics of plasma with the help of ... Read More
In this study, plasma processing parameters of a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) based argon plasma was carried at atmospheric pressure in flat plate configuration. The time dependent one-dimensional plasma module was adapted for modeling of the DBD in copper electrodes with quartz ... Read More
Pseudospark (PS) discharge is a low pressure hollow cathode discharge for generation of high intensity and high current density electron beams [1-3]. As the frequency of the microwave devices increases, the dimensions of the beam-wave interaction region gets reduced. In THz frequencies, ... Read More
Microwave plasma sources with a resonant cavity have been widely used in microwave electrothermal thrusters as an electric propulsion device, in which free-floating plasma is ignited and sustained in a propellant gas. The resonant cavity microwave plasma has become increasingly ... Read More
