Simultaneous Imaging of Molecular Rovibrational Nonequilibrium, Reactive Species, and Electric Field for Plasma-Assisted Chemistry

Kliewer, Christopher J.; Vorenkamp, Madeline V.; Ju, Yiguang J.

The Sandia-PRF has built a new capability for the low-temperature plasma community for the simultaneous imaging of molecular rotation/vibration nonequilibrium, electric field, and the distribution of OH radical and formaldehyde in reactive low temperature plasma systems. The system is currently investigating the plasma-assisted deflagration to detonation transition in a micro-combustor channel.
