Kinetic Model of Pulsed Discharge in Humid Air

This paper is devoted to analysis of humid air plasmas of pulsed discharge application possibilities for heating of thin layers over water surface where the concentration of water molecules in a layer over water surface contains ~0.5%-4% of water molecules in the temperature range 30 °C-110 °C. Main...

Description
Summary:This paper is devoted to analysis of humid air plasmas of pulsed discharge application possibilities for heating of thin layers over water surface where the concentration of water molecules in a layer over water surface contains ~0.5%-4% of water molecules in the temperature range 30 °C-110 °C. Main neutral and charged components have been calculated with the help of detailed plasma-chemical code. Considerable generation of ozone has been detected. This can explain the results of successful discharge sterilization experiment.
