Quantifying the Conversion Efficiency of a MW Plasma Reactor by Orienting a Vortex Gas Followed by a Downstream CDN Nozzle for Syngas Generation

Power-to-gas is a storage technology that uses excess electricity from renewable energy sources for chemical synthesis. In this research project the power-to-gas process of microwave plasmalysis, which is in focus, is first introduced and a short theoretical background of the technology is explained. Then the existing laboratory equipment of the plasma setup and the research context is discussed. Finally the research project is defined and presented. The research project includes the design and optimization of a vortex gas and a downstream quench step in the post plasma zone through a CDN nozzle. The interaction of both flow effects is also be analyzed and investigated. The research will be carried out simulatively and experimentally.
