0D Model of Microwave Discharge in Water with Barbotage of Methane through the Discharge Zone
摘要
Abstract
A microwave discharge inside of a methane bubble in boiling water is modeled in a 0D approximation taking into account the change in the size of the plasma bubble. The process of quenching the reaction products after the bubble detaches from the electrode surface is also simulated. The working pressure is 1 atm. It is shown that the main reaction products are H2, CO2, and CO. The ratio of CO2 and CO concentrations depends on the ratio of the initial flows of water vapor and methane. The calculated concentrations of the main decomposition products of methane and water are in good agreement with experimental data.
