Abstract:Non-equilibrium plasma has significant chemical kinetic effect and aerodynamic effect, both of which play an important role in the plasma-assisted combustion. In this paper, the numerical study on plasma-assisted combustion in gaseous methane rocket engine is carried out to investigate the impact of kinetic effect on its combustion performance. There are three schemes of plasma excitation via oxygen, methane and both of them in the numerical simulation model. The variations of combustion chamber temperature, p… Show more
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.
