The Role of Non-Thermal Transient Plasma for Enhanced Flame Ignition in C2H4–Air
…”Transient plasma ignition, involving short ignition pulses (typically 10–50 ns), has been shown to effectively reduce ignition delays and improve engine performance for a wide range of combustion-driven engines relative to conventional spark ignition” D Singleton, S J Pendleton, and M A Gundersen Published 16 December 2010 • 2011 IOP Publishing Ltd Journal of Physics – Applied Physics, Volume 44, Number …
Plasma-Assisted Ignition and Combustion: Nanosecond Discharges and Development of Kinetic Mechanisms
…”A great amount of experimental data has been accumulated during this period which provided the grounds for using low temperature plasma of nonequilibrium gas discharges for a number of applications at conditions of high speed flows and also at conditions similar to automotive engines.” S M Starikovskaia Published 4 August 2006 • 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd Journal of Physics – …
