The aim of this work is to study the analytical calculation of ozone generation in an ac corona discharge reactor. The corona discharges were generated in a dry air-fed wire-duct reactor stressed by an ac voltage at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The current–voltage characteristics of the ac corona discharges relative to ozone generation in the reactor were measured under different discharge conditions. Subsequently, an empirical equation was derived for the calculation of the ozone concentration generated in the reactor on the bases of the experimental results. The derived equation can be used to predict the ozone concentration generated by ac corona discharges in the reactor for any values of the parameters that were investigated in the experiment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
