High-Pressure CO Dissociation with Nanosecond Pulsed Discharges
Erwan pannier, Taemin Yong, Christophe Laux +1
The efficiency of the conversion of CO into CO with nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges (NRP) is investigated in a high pressure batch reactor. Stable discharges are obta…
Plasma-fixated nitrogen as fertilizer for turf grass
Christina Sze, Benjamin Wang, Jiale Xu +2
We investigated the use of plasma-fixated nitrogen, which produces nitrates (NO3-) in water, as a possible nitrogen fertilizer for recreational turf such as ryegrass and bentgrass.…
Laser Absorption Measurements of Electron Density in Nanosecond-ScaleAtmospheric Pressure Pulsed Plasmas
T. Yong, A. I. Abdalla, M. A. Cappelli
We report on time-resolved measurements of electron number density by continuous-wave laser absorption in a low-energy nanosecond-scale laser-produced spark in atmospheric pressure…
Perspectives on Physics of ExB Discharges Relevant to Plasma Propulsion and Similar Technologies
Igor D. Kaganovich, Andrei Smolyakov, Yevgeny Raitses +22
This paper provides perspectives on recent progress in the understanding of the physics of devices where the external magnetic field is applied perpendicularly to the discharge cur…
Effects of Flow Collisionality on ELM Replication in Plasma Guns
Thomas C. Underwood, Vivek Subramaniam, William M. Riedel +2
Degradation of first wall materials due to plasma disturbances severely limit both the lifetime and longevity of fusion reactors. Among the various kinds of disturbances, type I ed…
