Non-equilibrium Plasma Interactions with Liquid Water Surfaces
Abstract
The major activities in this project included (i) development of a plasma-droplet reactor and application to nitrogen fixation, (ii) application of ion mobility spectrometry to characterization of plasma-droplet reactions, (iii) development of in-situ diagnostics to measure temperature near a plasma-liquid interface, (iv) development of a model for reaction and transport at the interface of a plasma and liquid water bath, (v) development of a multiscale model to predict species densities at the interface of a plasma and liquid water, and (vi) development of a model for charge decay in the afterglow of a plasma. Significant results or key outcomes and major findings for each of these activities are detailed below. Plasma-droplet reactor and application to nitrogen fixation. Plasma-liquid processes are generally limited to the contact area between the plasma and the liquid surface. Using liquid microdroplets instead of bulk water can increase the surface to volume ratio and allow the liquid to be full dispersed inside the plasma.
