Plasma-assisted combustion of syngas-air mixture is considered, when either air, or syn-gas, or their mixture is exposed to the discharge. Optimal reduced electric field values of the discharge in various configurations in terms of shortening the induction time are de-termined. It is shown that the afterglow processes taking place in the discharge products prior to mixing with other components of the combustible mixture can essentially vary the mechanism of the discharge action on the ignition.
О влиянии параметров разряда на кинетику плазменно-стимулированного воспламенения синтез-газа в воздухе
Рассмотрено плазменно-стимулированное воспламенение синтез-газа в воздухе, когда воздействию электрического разряда подвергается либо отдельно воздух или синтез-газ, а затем происходит их смешение и воспламенение, либо заранее пере-мешанная топливовоздушная смесь. Определены оптимальные величины приве-денной напряженности электрического поля разряда с точки зрения сокращения времени воспламенения. Показано, что процессы, происходящие за время доставки продуктов разряда в зону смешения, могут существенно изменить механизм влия-ния разряда на воспламенение.
