氩气与氨气混合下的大气压介质阻挡放电(英文)

In this paper,the influence of ammonia admixture on argon discharge properties is investigated.Electrical measurements,as well as ten-nanoseconds-exposure photographs taken by an intensified charge-coupled device(ICCD)camera,are employed to confirm the existence of atmospheric pressure glow discharge(APGD)in Ar/NH3mixture.The breakdown voltage and transition voltage between APGD and filamentary discharge are studied at various ammonia concentrations.The results show that a small amount of NH3can lead to APGD due to the Penning ionization of NH3molecules by metastable argon,and the breakdown voltage increases with the growth in NH3concentrations owing to the electronegative feature of NH3.The optical emission spectrum of Ar/NH3APGD is analyzed.Besides,gas temperature is estimated at 327 K by the diagnoses of the OH(A-X)(0,0)band of the spectrum.     

空气中脉冲电压激励的表面微放电特性(英文)

The surface micro-discharge(SMD)excited by pulsed voltage in open air is experimentally studied by measuring its voltage,current,emission image,emission spectrum,and ultraviolet(UV)absorption spectrum.It is found that the SMD occurs intermittently in each cycle,and that it consists of many filaments on the surface of grounded electrode.While the applied voltage’s peak value Up increases from 1.75 kV to 7.25 kV,the discharge area keeps expanding until Up≈6 kV,when the discharge occupies all the available area.The emission spectrum of nitrogen metastable N2(C-B)and the density of ozone increase almost linearly.The ozone density decreases hyperbolically downstream of the grounded electrode due to the diffusion in open air.The characteristics of pulsed SMD are presented and analyzed as well,which may be referred by further investigations.     

大气压针板介质阻挡放电中微流注、电晕和辉光放电相互转换研究（英文）

To discuss the modes of dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) between needle-to-plane electrodes in air,DBD is generated and observed on a needle-to-plane device at atmospheric pressure air.Fast images of the DBD are taken by using a charge couple device(CCD) cinema with a macro lens,while the electrical and photo-electricity waveforms of the DBD are recorded.The current waveforms show that under an applied voltage of 3 kV,there are numerous short current pulses in both positive and negative half-periods of discharges.However,under 6 kV,there are still the numerous short current pulses in the positive half-periods,but only one wide current pulse in each negative half-period.This difference is also found in the photoelectric signals.The streamer,corona and glow discharges are observed from the images of the discharges at different applied voltages.The structure of glow discharge in the negative period is exactly the same as that of the low pressure glow discharge.However,in the positive period of discharge there is always a streamer.In the negative period of discharge,while the applied voltage increases,the transition from corona to glow discharge is observed.The progress of a transition between streamer and glow discharge at 6 kV during one period is analyzed.The glow discharge appearance is determined by two factors: the discharge current is limited to a certain extent by the dielectric layer; the charges deposited on the dielectric layer during the last half period enhance the intensity of the electric field.At an insufficient applied voltage,the cathode drop leads to no glow discharge,but Trichel pulses.     

采用多电极结构的大面积表面介质阻挡放电特性(英文)

Surface gas discharge(SGD)plasmas have potential applications in the fields of active flow control,gas purification,heat transfer enhancement,etc.In order to obtain a uniform,stable and large-area SGD at atmosphere,a multi-electrode SGD plasma generator is designed in this paper.The major features of this newly-designed SGD plasma generator is as follows:the air-exposed upper grounded electrodes are made of nine tungsten wires and flush mounted on the dielectric PTFE barrier layer,while the lower powered electrode is made of a copper foil and encapsulated inside the PTFE material to avoid the ignition of the gas discharges below the dielectric barrier layer.The measurements on the electrical characteristics,fast imaging of discharges and the preliminary numerical analysis on the electric field distributions suggest that the multi-electrode configuration of the plasma generator plays a crucial role in enhancing the local electrical field,and subsequently,leads to the stable,quasi-uniform and large-area surface discharges.     

在共面介质阻挡放电中大气压等离子体射流的特性(英文)

Non-thermal plasma jet at atmospheric pressure has recently attracted lots of attention because of its applications in plasma bullet or plasma plume.Thus,we studied on generating plasma jet by coplanar dielectric barrier discharge in a device driven by sinusoidal voltage.The processes of plasma discharges in both positive and negative half cycles were recorded using a high-speed ICCD(intensified charge-coupled device)camera;based on the results we estimated the velocity of plasma propagation,and investigated the influence of gas flow on the plasma development.It is shown that the plasma bullets,which have velocity in the order of 103～104m/s,exist only outside the cathode.APPJ(atmospheric pressure plasma jet)is created by the electron beam from the cathode,and then sustained by a strong radial electric field near and outside the cathode.The gas flow influences the APPJ length in air but not the APPJ discharge,while the discharge is affected significantly by the applied voltage.     

大气压下重复频率纳秒脉冲气体放电中X射线的辐射特性(英文)

Pulsed discharges can generate high power densities and high equivalent electric fields in plasma to emit X-rays,which is closely related to discharge mechanism.In this paper,discharge characteristics and X-ray emission of typical nanosecond-pulse discharges(corona,diffuse,spark or arc)are reviewed.Especially,the diffuse discharges are observed at pulse repetition frequencies up to 1 kHz.Factors influencing the discharge characteristics and X-ray emission are analyzed,such as the gap spacing,parameters of the applied pulse(amplitude,pulse repetition frequency),anode and cathode materials,and curvature radius of cathode.It is concluded that the maximum X-ray intensity is obtained in a diffuse discharge,and the X-ray intensity is affected by the pulse repetition frequency,applied voltage,anode material,and curvature radius of cathode.For example,X-ray intensity increases with the pulse repetition frequency and the atomic numbers of the anode material,but it decrease with the increase of curvature radius.It is also shown that the cathode material has no obvious influence on the X-ray intensity.     

大气压下柱型微空心阴极放电(英文)

The mechanism of micro-hollow cathode discharge at atmospheric pressure is investigated through simulations using two-dimensional fluid model combined with a transport model for metastable atoms.In the simulations,electric potential,electric field,particle density,and mean electron energy of the discharge are calculated.The results show that the two characteristic regions of the discharge,i.e.cathode drop and negative glow can be distinguished in the simulation.The cathode drop is characterized by strong electric field and high mean electron energy,while quasi-neutral plasma of high density and exists in the negative glow.The peak value of electron density can reach the order of 1017cm-3.The electron temperature varies from several eV to tens of eV.The influence of cathode dimension on the discharge characteristics is also investigated.     

大气压氦等离子体射流气体温度的光谱诊断(英文)

For atmospheric pressure plasma jets(APPJ),the gas temperature is essential for their applications.A spectral diagnosis of APPJ’s gas temperature is conducted in this work.The optical emission spectra of helium APPJ are captured by using an optical spectrometer system.Then,the grating secondary spectrum of OH(A2∑+(ν=0)→X2П(ν=0))are used to diagnose the gas temperature of plasmas because the spectrum has excellent resolution.Meanwhile,the vibrational temperatures are estimated by using the vibration sequence of N2band(SPS,the second positive system).On the basis of the method,some important conclusions were obtained.First,the spectral identifying indicates that the grating primary spectrum covers a whole wavelength range from 200 nm to 900 nm,and that the grating secondary spectrum overlaps with the primary spectrum from 400 nm to 900 nm.Second,the gas temperature(about 320 K)is close to the room temperature,while the vibrational temperature of the N2(SPS)is about 5 000 K.The trend of the two temperatures changing with the applied voltage is discussed in the end.     

大气条件下纳秒脉冲放电及其声特性分析(英文)

There was no well-resolved mechanism of audible noise caused by corona discharge on UHV transmission lines. Hence we measured the sound pressure of pulsed discharges between needle-plane electrodes under different discharge conditions in air, for revealing the intrinsic relationship between discharge and its audible noise(AN). The relationship between discharge parameters and audio characte- ristics was drawn from the analysis of the electric and sound signals obtained in experiments. Experiment results showed that nanosecond pulsed discharges produce the sound pressure with a microsecond pulse lagging behind the discharge pulse in their waveforms. The peak value of the sound pulse decreases and its high frequency component gradually attenuates, when the measuring distance from discharges increases. The sound pulses correlate with the discharge current and voltage significantly, especially the current. The audible noise produced by repetitive pulsed discharge increases with the strength, duration, and pulse repetition rate of discharge.     

大气压下气流中小电流放电及其应用(英文)

The paper reviews the results of investigations of the low-current atmospheric-pressure discharges in gas flow.The attention is focused on the discharges in electrode systems of coaxial plasmatron and of so-called gliding arc.It is demonstrated that a considerable fraction of discharge current is carried by a plasma column operating in a regime of normal glow discharge with occasional transitions to spark.The nature of glow-to-spark transition is discussed.Beside the plasma column,a weakly ionized gas fills in the interelectrode gap and forms a plasma jet at the exit of electrode system.The jet contains the active chemical particles that play important role in different discharge applications.The applications in plasma assisted combustion systems,for surface treatment with a usage of plasma jet,and for biology and medicine are considered.

大气压氦气介质阻挡放电中交流驱动电压频率对击穿电压的影响(英文)

For dielectric barrier discharge(DBD)driven by AC voltage in helium at atmospheric,the relationship between the breakdown voltage and the driving frequency is experimentally investigated using a pair of parallel electrodes.The gap between the electrodes is 1 mm,4 mm,7 mm,and 10 mm,respectively.Meanwhile with an increment of 2 kHz,the applied AC voltage varies from 12 kHz to 30 kHz.In each experiment,the driving voltage increases slowly,till the helium-filled gap breaks down.Based on a number of experimental results and further analyses,conclusions are obtained as follows.(1)For a small gap(1 mm),the voltage that triggers the first breakdown(Uf)is close to the one that sustains steady breakdowns(Us).However,in the larger gaps(4,7,and 10 mm),Uf is obviously larger than Us.(2)For a fixed gap,Uf does not change significantly with the driving frequency,whereas in the gaps except the 1 mm one,Us drastically decreases with the increase of driving frequency.(3)The motion of residual space charges and the dissipation of positive column,two reasonable factors that explains asymmetrical discharges,are also main reasons for the effect of the driving frequency on the breakdown voltages.

大气压氦气与氩气等离子体射流形成机理的对比研究(英文)

To compare the formation mechanisms of He and Ar atmospheric pressure plasma jets(APPJs),an intensified charge-coupled device(ICCD)are utilized to observe the dynamic process of APPJ.The experimental results show that,He APPJ is first ignited,which is independent of the dielectric barrier discharge(DBD)between the two wrapped electrodes when the high voltage placed at the downstream.The intensity and APPJ length under positive discharge pulses are bigger than that under negative discharge pulses due to the space charge effect.The He APPJ is formed by the DBD development when the high-voltage electrode placed at the upstream side of tube.However,the plasma plume in Ar APPJ is formed by the propagation of DBD whatever the high-voltage electrode is arranged on upstream or downstream side of ground electrode.The difference in formation mechanism between He and Ar APPJs is mainly caused by the gas properties.Moreover,during the discharges,Ar tends to lead to thermal instability and electron Maxwellian instability.     

30～200kV、上升沿1.5ns电压脉冲作用下常压空气中逃逸电子的产生(英文)

A pulse generator with a voltage rise time of～1.5 ns and voltage amplitude variable from 30 kV to 200 kV was designed for generating runaway electron beams in atmospheric pressure air with different interelectrode gaps.The influence of the voltage amplitude and gap length on the generation was studied.In the gas diode geometry under study,the gap voltage at which the generation of a runaway electron beam begins was determined.Decreasing the voltage pulse amplitude does not increase the beam current pulse width measured with a time resolution of～0.1 ns.It is shown that the escape of beam electrons to the downstream of the foil is sync in time with the voltage drop across the gap,and that the delay of beam current generation increases gradually from 1.1 ns to 2.6 ns as the voltage pulse amplitude across the gap decreases from～100 kV to 40 kV.     

惰性气体对氧气介质阻挡放电臭氧生成的影响(英文)

This paper reports the results of an experimental study of the effect of inert gases He,Ar and Kr on ozone generation in a Dielectric Barrier Discharge(DBD) fed by pure oxygen.The chemical reaction mechanisms related to the process of ozone generation are discussed.The experimental results show that ozone concentration decrease with decreasing oxygen content in all He+O2,Ar+O 2 and Kr+O 2 mixtures mainly owing to the decrease of oxygen content.The conversion ratio of oxygen into ozone increases with increasing oxygen content in He+O2 mixtures,but the addition of Ar and Kr can improve the conversion ratio due to the increase of free electrons density and excited oxygen molecules required for ozone formation through ionization and Penning effect.The effect of Kr is more significant for the lower first ionization energy of metastable state compared with other gases.It is probable that the ozone concentration,and ozone production efficiency increase with Kr addition when the reduced electric field and mean electron energy are high enough.

逃逸电子放电应用的“PROTEUS”高压纳秒脉冲发生器（英文）

Many applications of gas discharge with runaway electrons(DRE) require high-voltage pulse generators(HVPG) with very high increasing rate of output voltage(up to 100 kV/ns),long operation life and low cost.Such HVPGs have to be controlled by external computer for working in combination with other modern equipment.In this paper,some HVPGs development for DRE application in industry and medicine are described.The functional structure and operation principles are discussed for the HVPG of PROTEUS’ line.It is shown that on different loads,the PROTEUS generators can produce high-voltage nanosecond pulse with energy up to 1 J,output voltage amplitude from zero to 150 kV,and pulse repetition frequency from zero to 2 000 Hz.Four models of the PROTEUS generators are described.The output voltage leading front duration is 150 ns for the PROTEUS-I model,10~20 ns for the PROTEUS-II,2 ns for the PROTEUS-III and 0.5 ns for the PROTEUS-IV.DRE parameters obtained by using PROTEUS HVPGs are demonstrated.Some results of DRE application in solid-state surface modification of natural textile and polymer films are shown as well.     

局部放电射频信号与其视在放电量的关联分析(英文)

Radio frequency(RF) measurement has become a hot issue for partial discharge detection.However,its application is hampered by the difficulty to establish a relationship between the RF measurements data and apparent discharge quantity.In this paper,on the basis of an experimental model of metal protrusion,the relationship between the results of RF measurement and pulse current method(IEC 60270) was investigated.The energy,double integration,peak voltage,peak-peak voltage and the area of RF signals were plotted versus either the apparent discharge quantity or the square of the apparent discharge quantity in order to evaluate the optimal regression curve.At the same time,the impact of voltage and the distance between protrusion and plate were also investigated.The results indicate that the optimal match to a linear regression curve can be gained by plotting the RF signal energy versus the square of the apparent discharge quantity.The variation of voltage has no significant impact on the regression curve;that is,data from different voltages match one line.However,when the distance between protrusion and plate is changed,the slope of the regression curve changes accordingly;the same energy corresponds to a bigger discharge quantity.The results are significant enough to be applied in the estimation of the discharge quantity by measuring RF partial discharge signals.     

沿冰层表面流注传播场稳定性的实验研究与分析(英文)

The electric field required for stable propagation of a positive streamer along an ice surface was investigated by measuring the currents associated with the streamer discharge.The influence of the surface properties,namely the existence of a water film on the ice surface and surface contamination,was analyzed.Results showed that in the presence of an ice surface,except in case of low conductive surface,streamers propagate stably with an external field lower than that generally measured for propagation in air alone(approximately 5 kV/cm).For higher contamination levels,the stability field was found to be slightly influenced by the temperature,while for lower contamination levels,it decreased significantly with an increase in temperature.
