Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Based Flame Control and Diagnostics

Abstract

Summary: Control of atmospheric pressure flames with pulsed microwave energy. High efficiency coupling (>50%), Small percentage of flame power (~3% to 10%), Flame speed enhancement (>20%), Extension of lean limit (factor of two), Distributed ignition. Development of new diagnostics, Quantitative Temperature images with Filtered Rayleigh Scattering, Measurement of NO and radicals with Radar REMPI, Imaging velocity and temperature profiles with FLEET.
