An experimental study to assess the impact of discharge frequency of the dielectric barrier discharge on ignition process of premixed mixture under elevated pressure 2023-32-0149
To understand the effect of discharge frequency and discharge energy of dielectric barrier discharges (DBD) on the flame kernel development process, the observation of the discharges and ignition trials were performed in a constant volume vessel. Results showed that the energy of DBD released during a single cycle of discharge decreases, but the power of the discharges increases with the frequency increases. The ignition probability improved and the time for the flame propagation decreased under high frequency because the power of the discharges efficiently rises the local gas temperature near the electrodes.
