...Peng Chen; Ruibang Sun; Liyang Li; Yi Wang Methane explosion is one of the major hazards in the mechanical industry. In this paper, a series of methane/air premixed combustion experiments were carried out to study the influence of blockage ratio on flame propagation. The blocking ratio (BR...

...) and spherical flame propagation. Electrode Design B, adds the ability to change tip geometry (i.e., plate-to-plate, tip-to-plate, tip-to-sphere, plate-to-sphere, etc.). In this paper, the plate-to-plate configuration is demonstrated to study uniform low-temperature nanosecond plasma discharge. Both electrode...

...Kwonse Kim; Omid Askari This work is an experimental and computational study to investigate the effect of capacitive discharge ignition (CDI) on plasma kernel formation and flame propagation of air–propane mixture. This paper is mainly focused on the plasma formation and flame propagation...
