Fast gas heating (FGH) is an abrupt increase in gas temperature in non-equilibrium low-
temperature plasma due to relaxation of electronically excited states of atoms and …

The use of a thermal equilibrium plasma for combustion control dates back more than a
hundred years to the advent of internal combustion (IC) engines and spark ignition systems …

Expansion and contraction of structurally flexible Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) or
Porous Coordination Polymers (PCPs) have been extensively studied from different …

This review covers the results obtained in the period 2006–2014 in the field of plasma-
assisted combustion, and in particular the results on ignition and combustion triggered or …

The isolated effect of O2 (a1Δg) on the propagation of C2H4 lifted flames was studied at
reduced pressures (3.61 kPa and 6.73 kPa). The O2 (a1Δg) was produced in a microwave …

A detailed experimental investigation of the mechanism of ultrafast heating and oxygen
dissociation produced by nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges in atmospheric …

Non-equilibrium plasma discharges can create a favorable environment for combustion
processes, at low energy cost.“How favorable?” and “How low?” are two open questions that …

Nanosecond repetitively pulsed (NRP) spark discharges have been studied in atmospheric
pressure air preheated to 1000 K. Measurements of spark initiation and stability, plasma …

The paper reviews recent progress in two rapidly developing engineering applications of
plasmas, plasma assisted combustion and plasma assisted high-speed flow control …

The kinetic effects of low temperature non-equilibrium plasma assisted CH4 oxidation on the
extinction of partially premixed methane flames was studied at 60Torr by blending 2% CH4 …
