Abstract

Analysis of kinetics in the afterglow of pulsed nanosecond high-voltage discharge for conditions of plasma assisted ignition at elevated temperatures for hydrocarbons:oxygen mixtures diluted with argon has been performed. Computer modelling based on results of the experimental data on ignition delay times, demonstrates a special behavior of the kinetic curves of intermediate components in the process of plasma assisted ignition. Calculated kinetic curves for electrons, O, OH radicals, and main reagents and products have been analyzed. Kinetic mechanism has been suggested to describe plasma assisted ignition of methane:air mixtures diluted with argon. Efficiency of O-atoms production was analysed for different gas mixtures.
