Abstract:Since the 21st century, searching for new ways and approaches toimprove efficiency and to reduce exhaust gases of internal combustion engines has never been ceased. One of these innovation technologies is microwave plasma ignition. And this paper describes an applicable method for microwave plasma ignition. This method was realized in a metal closed cavity which imitates the combustion chamber in an internal combustion engine. The mixture of methane and air was successfully ignited by microwave plasma under 5~… Show more
