One-dimensional simulation of hydrogen production kinetic models by water vapor plasmolysis in a DBD plate reactor

AbstractThe results of one-dimensional time-dependent simulation modeling of hydrogen production from water vapor dissociation using non-thermal discharge plasma in a plate-type reactor were developed. Three different water vapor dissociation reaction mechanisms pathway models were simulated at a water vapor temperature of 573 K and same boundary conditions. The electron collision cross sections of electron water vapor […]

Effect of negative oxygen ions on the characteristics of plasma in a cylindrical DC discharge

AbstractLangmuir probe measurements are performed in cylindrical dc glow discharge plasma. Plasma was generated in an evacuated glass tube, with circular plane disk electrodes. Measurements were carried out at different points along the axis of tube for different working pressures of pure argon and mixture of argon–oxygen gasses to obtain the plasma density and temperature […]

Variational calculation with general density functional to solve the electronic Schrödinger equation directly for ground state: a recipe for self-consistent field solution

AbstractUsing orbital-free framework, a simple numerical optimization of the density functional for ground state electronic energy is described for any type of functional approximation, demonstrated via the example of linear combinations of homogeneous functionals of the density. The numerical recipe is given and analyzed for solution: Originating from the linear dependence of nuclear-electron attraction functional […]

Impact of silica seeding and discharge voltage on plasma parameters at atmospheric pressure

The interaction of cold plasma with heterogeneous catalysts has led to some peculiar behavior, especially with silica (SiO2) seeding in presence of 2% alumina (Al2O3). In this paper, we have measured plasma parameters in low temperature arc plasma. I – V characteristics of Langmuir probes are plotted using the data obtained from the experimental set […]
