Abstract
The effects of non-thermal plasma on characteristics of soot and NOx production in a diffusion flame were examined. The plasma reactor has wire-cylinder-type electrode with AC power supply operated at 40Hz. The flame length and the yellow luminosity by the radiation of soot particles are significantly decreased due to generation of the ionic wind as the applied voltage is increased. The mass density of soot is influenced appreciably by the non-thermal plasma, while NOx production is not influenced much by applied voltage.
