Comment on “Jet propulsion by microwave air plasma in the atmosphere” [AIP Adv. 10, 055002 (2020)]

Abstract: In this Comment, we analyze the performance of a microwave plasma device presented by Ye et al. [AIP Adv. 10, 055002 (2020)]. The efficiency analysis, using conservation of energy, shows that the methods used by the original authors predict up to 8000% device efficiency. Our analytical model is based on a control volume analysis of the original authors’ experimental setup and conditions, indicating that blocking the exit of the device yields stagnation pressure rather than jet pressure. The results from this a… Show more
