Plasma-Enhanced Combustion for Reduction of Rocket Plume Soot
Abstract
This report demonstrates the application of transient plasmas for remediation of emissions both during and post-combustion. The project encompasses underlying physics and chemistry, plasma device and power conditioning engineering, and problems related to fabrication of practical devices. The major accomplishments include demonstration of an energy efficient approach, which is now being used for many plasma remediation applications, development of the knowledge of the underlying science including the role of transient plasmas, development of diagnostic methods including laser induced fluorescence, and identification and new data on a solid state approach to pulse generation.
