On the effect of water vapor on the methane oxidation in an atmospheric pressure rotating discharge plasma reactor
Résumé
In this work, we propose a plasma treatment of methane-air mixture for hydrogen (H2) enrichment applied to motor vehicles using an atmospheric pressure rotating discharge. H2 production is investigated as function of the electrical power injected into the plasma, the total flow rate and the inlet H2O concentration added. Experimental results show that the major plasma products are H2, carbon monoxide and dioxide (CO and CO2).
