Abstract
Ignition of hydrocarbon–oxygen mixtures by means of a nanosecond surface dielectric barrier discharge (NSDBD) was studied experimentally. The propagation velocity of the flame wave and the ignition delay time in mixtures of oxygen with methane, ethane, ethylene, and dimethyl ether were measured using a high-speed camera. The experiments were carried out at room temperature and gas mixture pressures in the range of 0.75–1.25 atm. It is shown that, for all hydrocarbons under study, the flame velocity decreases with reducing pressure and stoichiometric ratio, as well as when the mixture is diluted with molecular nitrogen. Theoretical analysis of the processes in the NSDBD plasma and measurements of the flame velocity in hydrocarbon-containing mixtures without plasma agree qualitatively with the measurement results, except for the increasing dependence of the flame velocity on the pressure, which is decreasing in experiments without a discharge plasma.
