Abstract
The innovative technology is proposed for micro particle mixing and transportation in a tube by electrostatic force and by induced flow with dielectric barrier discharge. The tube, so called DBD plasma tube, is composed of a pair of spiral electrodes both inside and outside of the tube for the generation of DBD plasma on the inner surface of a tube. The fundamental characteristics of DBD plasma tube such as discharge characteristics, induced flow velocity and ozone concentration were clarified experimentally. Furthermore, three dimensional potential distribution inside the tube was shown by computational simulation.
