Control of the Energy Impact of Electric Discharges in a Liquid Phase

Abstract

This paper describes the scheme and algorithm for controlling a laboratory setup that result in low uncertainty and high convergence with respect to the characteristics of electric discharges under the conditions of variable parameters of a reaction medium. The article presents current and voltage oscillograms when processing hydrocarbon raw materials. Methods for calculating the energy impact of electrical discharge are described. A comparison is made between the parameters of electric discharge with current pulse limitations and those without current pulse duration limitations. The proposed approach to controlling the characteristics of electric discharges provides the same parameters of nonthermal nonequilibrium plasma and, as a result, a regular composition of the products of plasma pyrolysis of hydrocarbon raw materials.

Effect of Plasma Gas Type on the Operation Characteristics of a Three-Phase Plasma Reactor with Gliding Arc Discharge

“…When conducting any process using plasma, knowledge of its properties and mastery of the methods for obtaining it should be ensured. Plasma research focuses on obtaining controlled plasmochemical reactions [1][2][3][4][5]. The constancy of the parameters of the generated plasma largely determines the reproducibility of the processes carried out with its participation [6].…”
