In this study, the effects of the fluid cooling and electric field line deformation were investigated in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma source. The DBD plasma jet is improved by covering the ground electrode and a power electrode with insulating oil. We obtained positive results as insulating oil prevents arc formation, while it improved the supplied power and plasma jet length, and increased radical production. Radical production of this nonthermal plasma jet is studied with polyvinyl alcohol-potassium iodide liquid.
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.
