Kinetic Study of Atmospheric Pressure Nitrogen Plasma Afterglow Using Quantitative Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy

الملخص EN

Quantitative electron spin resonance spectroscopy is used to measure nitrogen atom density in atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge afterglow.

The experiment shows that oxygen injection into early afterglow increases the nitrogen dissociation in certain parts of the afterglow while it is decreased in the rest of the afterglow.

Numerical kinetic modelling supports and explains the experimental data while the best fit provides some a priori unknown parameters such as initial concentrations and rate constants.
